heres a quote from a english slang dictionary,

Noun. An idiot, objectionable person. Derived from the rhyming slang Berkshire Hunt or Berkeley Hunt, meaning 'c*nt'. Normally Berkshire and Berkeley would be pronounced Barkshire and Barkeley. This expression is generally accepted as inoffensive despite its source. Also 'burk'.

:shock:

And here i thought it was just a word on its own that meant idiot,

Is it official that its rhyming cockney slang then?

Either way im sorry i moved the thread to the advanced sections, i got it wrong and didnt realise just what the score was until it was politely pointed out to me to which i put the thread back and appolagised which is what schuyler quoted,

He then removed it which made me look a right c**t :P

Sorry, I'm completely lost.

What the heck is a Berkshire Hunt or Berkeley Hunt? What is the connection with c*nt?

Its all about saying things that take longer to say than the actual word you want or need to say and on top of that they have to rhyme as well like farmer giles - piles,

Right. But I don't know WTF a "Barkshire Hunt" is in the normal non-swear world. Is it some fox hunt?

butchers hook -- look,
as in give me a butchers? means 'lemme see' theres a whole list of the stuff on the internet somewhere, look for 'rhyming slang' its all about talking in a way that the uniniciated don't understand, kinda like some drug dealers do.
