I was just checking your grammar again and found that the online
Oxford Dictionary has one definition of punk as 'an inexperienced
young person', which could fully apply to this cyclist. Good for you!

The word was used by Shakespeare. Check out "Measure For Measure".

I find it hard to believe that reading this cycling group has ended up
with me looking into a Shakespeare play. (In Act V, Lucio says "My
lord, she may be a punk; for many of them are neither maid, widow, nor
wife.")

(And "Measure For Measure" is supposed to be a comedy? At least it
didn't end in tragedy.)

You can learn all sorts of things on newsgroups if you follow up things
that you initially do not recognise or understand.

I know. And by "punk" he (and Shakespeare) meant "prostitute".

(And "Measure For Measure" is supposed to be a comedy? At least it
didn't end in tragedy.)


It's one of the so-called Dark Comedies.
