"Drokk" referenced in Oxford Dictionaries article

[Dash Decent]

Nice to see a 2000AD reference in this August 2016 article on the Oxford dictionaries website:

A pity they couldn't spell 'Grud' though.

Nice try but, Grudd aside, a few more inaccuracies in the entry on Drokk:

Drokk is a swear word from Judge Dredd, which is set in a future world that has alternative profanities to ours – also including Grudd. This enabled the publisher to comply with the 1954 Comic Book Code rules on language in a more authentic and believable way than many others, which range from the inoffensive "Great Scott!" (Superman) to the ludicrous "Oh my stars and garters!" (Beast).

I'm not sure that any British publisher ever had to 'comply' with the comic book code rules (assuming the writer means the Comic Code Authority).

Quimps ?!

Maybe that's a cultural thing...

The whole thing's a load of puffery and tosh but I was still pleased with Drokk getting referenced.

Most of that article is just repackaging the wikipedia page on The Lexicon of Comicana by Mort Walker, with a few in-universe words thrown in from various companies.

Is a Quimp a high class Pimp or a working class Jimp?...

So many questions.

So many questions.

Surely Quimp means 'female pimp'?

It's windy out, I'd best take a coat!

A Quimp is a queer Simp.
