Sweep Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I was looking up the word "yonks" yesterday, nobody knows where that comes from either You would indeed have to be from Britain or the Commonwealth to know yonks, since I don???t think it???s found in the USA at all. Everyone is as puzzled as you are by this curious word, which appeared in Britain in the 1960s with no apparent link to any other word in the language. It usually turns up in the phrase for yonks, for a long time. Many people have told me that they have been told, or assume, that it is a corrupted form of aeons. Others say that they have heard it is an anagram of ???Year, mONth, weeKS???. These are intriguing and highly inventive speculations, but I suspect strongly that they are the usual well-meant attempts at finding an origin where none is known. The anagrammatic origin is too convoluted to be plausible (and virtually all attempts at finding anagram sources turn out to be specious, anyway). A few reference books suggest that it might be a clipped version of donkey???s years, also meaning a long time. This sounds quite daft on first hearing, but if you think about it, you can see how the onk of donkey might just have been prefixed by the y of years, perhaps as conscious or unconscious back slang. Another way of looking at it is that the source was a spoonerism on donkey???s years???yonkey???s dears, from which yonks arose by clipping. It???s only a theory, mind???nobody knows for sure one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
