What does BERKO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Australianslang
Extremely angry or out of control; berserk.
Someone described as berko has lost their temper completely, shouting or acting wildly rather than staying calm. Australian slang shortens and reshapes berserk into this snappier form, and the word carries a slightly comic edge even while describing real fury, as if the speaker is amused as much as alarmed by the outburst.
