Dork is the proper scientific term for a whale penis

It is popularly asserted that the term originated as whalers’ occupational slang for the penis of a whale, and by transfer became an anatomical insult, undergoing subsequent generalization and amelioration to its present meaning. The current state of evidence suggests that this is a case of folk etymology, as no solid documentation has been advanced for the use of the term in this context. One of the earliest documented uses of the word “dork” is a 1961 publication (referencing 1953), in which the meaning is clearly penis, but with no particular reference to whales. Instead, the term may be merely a minced oath variant of “dick”, a vulgar term for a human penis.

Dork is a term of abuse favored by American youngsters, designating the target as quirky, awkward, eccentric, socially inept or simply of lower status.

Society and individuals make a word ‘bad’ by way of their response to it. If a small child stands in front of you and says ‘bit@hbit#hbit@h” and you don’t respond, the child, failing to get a response from you, will most likely not do it again. If instead you flip out, ‘no no this is a bad word etc.” you have given the WORD power, and the child comes to understand s/he can wield power through use of that word. If a word ‘wants to be good’? Well, words have no power on their own and they certainly have no will!- the only power a word can have is power we give to it. Therefore you can minimize it’s impact by maintaining no response to it. It would take generations, though, to do that on a large scale.

We use that name around here. We mainly call someone a Dork when they do something stupid or weren’t really thinking things out before they did it. It is like when you say that someone isn’t the brightest crayon in the box.

I think dork is another way of saying your a nerd or a geek.
