Dear fellow petitioners,

I happened across an interesting word that I now find to be part of my every day vocabulary. The word I am referring to is: Vark. Courtesy of Ned Sneed on Urban Dictionary, the definition of "Vark" is as follows:

We have this saying around these parts and we thought that it would be nice to share this with our funny word-loving friends. It's called "varking", and it's a verb.

To vark. First, a little history: there was a very famous dog around here a year or so ago that liked to sniff around alot, and when she did, she looked just like an aardvark. She would poke and sniff for hours in this aardvark position, and we started calling this action "aardvarking" and later shortened it to "varking". So if you ever find yourself walking around, looking at something here and some other thing there or not really anything much at all...well you can say that you are varking!

I genuinely love this word and was disappointed to discover it is not yet an official part of the English language. I hereby encourage all of you out there to sign this petition and support the adoption of "Vark" as part of our language! Have fun "Varking"!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
