Gowk (pronounced ɡaʊk) is a noun with a number of meanings. It is sometimes used to mean a cuckoo or an awkward, clumsy or stupid person. Apparently the word goes back to ancient German and could mean a bastard, simpleton, or fool, which gives its commonest usage namely an awkward or foolish person. There is also a third totally distinct meaning; in Geordie dialect it means an apple core.

It’s the way that New Yorkers pronounce New York, it surprised the hell out of me the first time I heard it. Interestingly, they believe that theirs is the correct pronunciation and that everyone else in the world has got it wrong; they make the most Londoncentric of Londoners seem positively open minded; they do to the American language what Americans do to English. Something else interesting is the temperature range; Summer temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), dropping to minus 4.4 degrees Celsius (21.4 degrees Fahrenheit)in Winter. Perhaps it is these extremes of temperature that make New York extremely dangerous; in London (population 8.3 – 8.6 million depending on who you believe) 2014 saw 93 murders, while New York (population 8.4 million) saw 328.
“Noo Yoik! That’s the place where things happen!”
“Yeah, like lots of murders. No thanks, you can keep it!”
“Yeah, like lots of murders. No thanks, you can keep it!”

This is originally London slang and quite an old expression; its first recorded use is in 1838 in an English newspaper (The Era) where it was used to describe a uninterested or half-assed attempt at any sort of task or job. Gradually its use changed until, by the time The Era closed in 1939, it was used and still is used to describe a perfunctory wash, less thorough that even HF-AGBA, a BBA or an airplane bath.
