Hi Nikki,
> I'm desperately trying to work out the bork, bork, bork one.. some other americans friends were laughing the heads off over that one
In the late 1970s there was a television show called "the muppets". Muppets are very lifelike, usually caricatured, puppets originally designed by Jim Henson, the founder of the TV show "Sesame Street", which you probably have in the UK.
Anyway, on the "muppet show" there was one character called "the sweedish chef" who satirized the sweedish language by singing as he talked and every time something funny happened with what he was cooking, he would yell "bork, bork, bork!".
I guess you had to be there.
