    It feels like it's a different word entirely, now.

      Nark = grass, more or less, no?

      Comment


        Yes.

        "Narc" instantly makes me thing "drugs cop".

        Comment


          Quite

          It appears to be a snitch, stoolie, informant, etc

          Whereas the North American verb form is a mashup of the two meanings with its origins in undercover drug cops

          Curious

            Yeah, I'd say they were kind of different words. The cartoon only makes sense if the cat is calling the kid a grass (as opposed to a drug cop)

              There's also "narky" meaning grumpy/nagging/petty and "narked" meaning irritated.

                Also "norks" which are other things entirely.

                  And "nerk" - a fool.

                    I think this is maybe a bit more than irreverent. Just in case the link is not direct, it's Hitler and Stalin singing the Buggles...

                          That was the first, and most frequent usage, I remember as a kid.
