yarkern.

Brit.

/ˈjɑːkə/, U.S.

/ˈjɑrkər/, Scottish English

/ˈjarkər/

Forms: 1800s– yarker, 1500s–1600s 1800s– yerker, 2000s– yurker.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: yark v.², -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < yark v.² + -er suffix¹. Compare earlier jerker n. (especially with sense 2).With sense 3b compare earlier semantic parallels such as whopper n. and whacker n. 2. In sense 3a perhaps an ironic development from sense 3b (i.e. by antiphrasis), although sense 3b is first attested later: see the discussion at sense 3a.

†1. A horse which kicks or lashes out with its hind legs. Also with out. Cf. yark v.² 5a. Obsolete.

a. Chiefly Scottish, English regional (northern), and U.S. regional. Something which is a small example of its kind; esp. a child.In quot. a1842, Herbert Coleridge (1830–61) apparently refers to his mother's poem ‘Pleasures Granted’ which appears in Sara Coleridge's 1834 collection Pretty Lessons in Verse for Good Children. The poem contains the lines ‘Some days a mahogany desk My Herbert from me shall obtain... And when he's a much bigger boy, A store of good books he'll collect.’ It is possible that ‘when I was a yarker of a boy’ refers to the time when Coleridge would be ‘a much bigger boy’ rather than the time of his infancy when the poem was written; in which case the quot. would be an example of sense 3b.
