"Corky" is vernacular for "quirky?"  Sorry.  Maybe I'm just old or maybe I'm dense.  How did corky become quirky?

---

@maximillian   It's a downstate Illinois/Indiana "accent"

---

Thanks @Desertdi   I learned something new today.  I like learning words used in different parts of the country.  I'm fixen to go y'all

---

@maximillian    "Corky" is not a different word....it's just how "quirky" SOUNDS in a regional accent...

---

But wouldn't the spelling be the same?

Corky, quirky....all people have good and bad qualities.  She’s definitely an extrovert, I don’t watch her often but when I do I like her presentations.  She has a talent for the use of vocabulary...and a passion for what she does.  I feel like the hosts that are more out going and exude a lot of self confidence get a bad rap.  I must admit I do mute a lot of hosts and designers alike ....I watch qvc maybe once or twice a week tho and most of what I see I enjoy.  I watch for product.....not who is selling.

@Luvsmyfam   Anything outside of Metropolitan Chicago is considered "downstate",  no matter where it is located,  central, south or wherever.
