I tried to get him to explain what a "doonka" is. He could not quite explain it, except that it's some kind of a girl with a short little haircut. Maybe someone else who speaks Russian can help me out here... Sarah? Melody?
Regardless, I think it sounds very funny.
I thought this would be a good example of doonka hair... me in fourth grade...
George says no, that is not quite it, but this photo of another kid in my fourth grade class, now he is a PERFECT example.

Hmmmmm... not quit sure...that might be, as you said, uniquely George? It reminds me of the word for "a thought" which transliterated is "doomka".
Could it be "Dutch"? Looks like a little Dutch boy.
I like your 4th grade doonka picture. Cute.
Lisa, Ok, now I understand the Pom comment after reading your January post.
Skippy is an angel about going to the bathroom outside. He will basically go on command. I have never owned a girl dog. If my dog's fur gets a little crusty down there I'll trim him and give him a bath. How long are you dogsitting for? It sounds like you'll have her for a while! (She is very pretty, I think my dog would fall in love with her if they ever met).
Anonymous-- George says doonka is indeed a word and in no way related to "doomka." Although he coined the phrase "doonka hair."
Thanks Seeker. That is from my yearbook in 1982. Apparently doonka haircuts were very popular that year because lots of kids had them.
Hi Jenn,
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Based on the two pictures you've posted I would have to say that in second grade I would have looked a lot better without my uber-doonka haircut! :)
hehehehe, we had the same haircut!
Susie-- Your next contest should be to get everyone to post their dorkiest school photo... that would be a riot.
Lisa-- I love all kinds of dogs, but have had a hard time myself watching some friends' dogs. One peed in every room in my house. I felt like she had the intellegence of an insect compared to my dog. The worst thing was, as soon as you'd say, want to go out? And bend over to pick her up, that's when she'd let it all loose and pee!
My house had carpet all over, so I made this dog stay in the linoleum kitchen the next time I watched her.
Lauren-- that is a great expression, uber-doonka, ha! We've got to get that into wikipedia.
Michelle-- Let's see a pic!
A friend of mine's Dad from Ukraine says "doonka" is like "dummy." George says it's a girl who's an airhead. Somehow the word and haircut go together. I guess it makes sense.
