gusangora Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 berserk: Word History: When we say that we are going berserk, we may not realize how extreme a state this might be. Our adjective comes from the noun berserker, or berserk, which is from the Old Norse word berserkr, “a wild warrior or champion.” Such warriors wore hides of bears, which explains the probable origin of berserkr as a compound of *bera, “bear,” and serkr, “shirt, coat.” These berserkers became frenzied in battle, howling like animals, foaming at the mouth, and biting the edges of their iron shields. Berserker is first recorded in English in the early 19th century, long after these wild warriors ceased to exist.

kenneth1503559512 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Just for the record, Coral is a male (something he has corrected a lot of people with on this forum, in the past). Oh, and it's not just OT that's gone berserk. At least two other sections will most likely have that OT post about one of the overseas issues.

I only know his name (in the way of I have to go and search my emails) because I sent an email instead of a PM to him once. I wouldn't be surprised though if a certain member is trying to get more off-topic posts allowed.
