'''Krunk''', is a contrived attempt to give a [[neologism]] the status of [[profanity]].


{{R to section}}
Krunk is an all-purpose swear word used as a [[bowdlerization]] for other swear words. Examples include:

* "Wow! Look at the krunks on her!" ([[tit]]s)
* "Would you mind picking up your dog's krunk? I almost stepped in it!" ([[shit]] or [[crap]])
* "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned; I touched my krunker three times since my last confession." (ambiguous [[genital]] terminology)
* "Your mama's so fat, after krunking her I rolled over twice and was still on her." ([[fuck]] or [[thap]]; originated from a [[Usenet]] post)

''Krunk'' was used during the first two seasons of ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'', beginning in early 1994. He encouraged guests to insert the word into their conversations. On [[30 April]] [[2004]], ''[[American Idol]]'' judge [[Randy Jackson]] used "krunked" during the show, but by then O'Brien had no idea what Jackson was talking about. The game [[Metal Arms: Glitch in the System]] also had character named Krunk who sweared constantly.
