Berserker is an old Norse word. Berr means a bear and as for the -serker part it rly comes from serkr meaning shirt. Berserkers are said to have been wearing bear skins in battle. They also used some mashrooms and herbals to get drugged and enter into berserking rage-feeling no pain and no remorse. Some are even said to have been so bludlust that they knew no friend from foe, only targets :) The Ulfhednar on the other hand were the most elite of the berserkers - the so called Oden's elite
Actually, the "bear" part is not so undisputed, although English wiki sais so. But : Old Norse for "bear" is "bjorn" nor "ber". So, the word's inventor Þorbjörn Hornklofi borrowed it from old german, or:
"ber-" existed, too, and meaned " to bear as in to carry". So it might mean "shirt bearer". Which sounds reasonable because Þorbjörn, seamed to use them synonymous to "men clad in wolf skins"
Or it could still come from "berr" meaning " bare", or "shirtless", which fits some pictures of them.
@Maxuras if they wore wolf skins they would have been called Verrserkrs i believe. In fact there is evidence for such warriors- the Oden's elite -Ulfhednar (Ulfhednin singular) They had wolf skins and spears. And as for the berserkrs i think ber rly stands for bear even though that u r right that bear is bjorn. So they probably borrowed it from gernman or smth. or maybe it was changed in time. Let's make HotForWord investigate
It was a good job and not as silly as it first sounded:
The name berserker arose from their reputed habit of wearing a kind of shirt or coat (Old Norse: serkr) made from the pelt of a bear (Old Norse: ber-) during battle. The term comes from old Norwegian berserkr (plural berserkir), meaning bear shirt and suggests a robe.
Being an extraterrestrial myself, I think this is very good. Humble servant! ROFL! Yeah, I tried pulling that one on them until I was forced to vaporize 74 little old ladies. Shit happens. I'll be catching the next ship to Tau Ceti. You anywhere near there? Like they say on Plyzgun, "Yudsiewhfoorncxz dewio uo."

"Does a bear shit in the woods?" is a very old Canadian expression, perhaps it comes from the Vikings. I would ask my grandmother (she was born in Norway) but I am afraid she's passed on..
Bärsärk (Berzerk) comes from old norse and does mean "Bear Shirt" referring to warriors wearing this outfit. These guys also liked to consume a concoction made partly from poisonous fungus to lower the levels of pain, thus making them formidable warriors. - I know, I'm a viking woman!
Right on Baby!!! Sometimes people think my wisdom is a load of dingo's kidneys because I bring humor to learning. That's for the back up, sugar. Hope to see more of you around!
Sorry I do nto watch the girls who get millions of hits because of their looks. I like the under dogs. OK Z I fixed the video hope it got to u in time or my heart will be broken and I will cry until i can cry no more cause I wanna be at the dance and I can't tell u how i made those clips just for u and it took me forever.
I know. I did try so maybe she'll approve it. I also emailed her. I wouldn't have done it otherwise. I allow almost anything anyone wants to post on my vlogs. Oh well. Dance Party Friday!
An excellent breakdown. The trail of Brr to Bears truly was a work of a hyperspatial genius. Maybe you'd give Hotforwords a run for her money if you rolled out a Breebot to gesture and sparkle as you made your speech. I will endeavor to reprogram one of the leftovers from my last Case O'Bree Con Queso for this task.
Thanks. Sorry to be educational. I try to avoid that normally, but this one is mostly true. The word does come from the idea of making a shirt out of a bear you killed.
He said he needed to recharge after a long week. What a lame-o. But I will have a very special dance with a very special lady at this party. You'll see--but you have to watch the whole video very carefully. It's trickier than most. Still working on the Macbeth video too.
Hehe. I don't think you can just guess like that. I think you have to actually know a bit of latin, greek, french and ancient german before you can do stuff like that to english words. i took a latin and greek roots class in my first year at college... it was a LOT of fun and also the hardest course i have ever taken.
As in... your logic about brrrr and cold and bears was crazy but you knew the right answer. So, I don't believe your logic even though I believe your answer. Wow. Did I make any sense at all right there?
Yes, that makes sense. And you're correct. Although I ended up at the correct destination I took the long way. I like to present truth in a way which only an idiot would believe I'm correct. Same goes with my commentaries on orbital mechanics and sonoluminescence.
Actually, that is the true orgin of the word "berserk".
Now what is the deal with pwnd. Is it pronoucned "Pawned"? Is that like telling someone that they have been put under submission or "owned?" Now I'm curious.
I've been telling everyone it's owned with a p in front of it but have been pronouncing it boned because that's pretty much what it means! I made a video to clarify.
It's a mispronunciation of the multiple of the word lol, which is an abbreviation for the term Laughing Out Loud. Of course, we then get this word through the filter of poorly educated folks like those in Encyclopedia Dramatica, Mike Skeehan or 4chan.
For a high capacity/heavy duty blender you might try a restaurant supply house or, even better, your nearest teamsters local hall. If they don't have one I think they can order one from Detroit.
