LOL......

OK... I get the definite impression I'm being teased here....

"Gorm"... far as I know is a dialect word from Lancashire or Cumbria....(North England).. and no-one uses it in it's pure form anymore, I lived up that way when a child and can still remember it being used.

To be "Gormless" is to be jaw-droppingly stupid.. moronic... but also carries a meaning of harmless amiability too.

An "Oik" is an out and out insult from those who consider themselves of a higher class or status.. to those of a lower.... I should know... I've used it for that purpose myself!

BTW... Interesting selection of books you're reading right now.... I might look them up those titles myself..... especially since I think you invented them just to send me up:)
