“You'll be packing in boozing next because of the alcohol that's in it. (Ethyl-Alcohol being toxic, of course...) - and swimmingน^([sic]), for fear of taking in a gobful of chlorinated water (you should see how my dookers have faded since using Penrith swimming pool; what's it doing to my innards?)”

“'Oh, if youre gonna stand there like a stookie.' Wee Malkie threw Jamie his shirt and watched him brazenly as he came out of the water holding it in front of him. 'So do they not wear dookers then? In Africa?'”

“'It was fantastic being a 'Dooker' welcoming the new year. It's terrific how much energy and excitement the Loony Dook generates and the fantastic fancy dress costumes people make and the money generated for charity. We'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year!”

“This classic New Year's Day dip in the River Forth sees people in fancy dress jump into the water in the shadow of the Forth bridges. Spectators can cheer on the "dookers" at the beach or along the route of the parade towards South Queensferry.”

“The swim started out as a challenge between friends in the town's former Moorings pub. Only five hardy souls dived in 33 years ago. A few from the early years still take part but some of the first dookers believe that it has been tarnished by commercialism.”

“Nairn, as with Lossiemouth and some other Moray coast towns and villages, had good bathing beaches. At the more fashionable resorts the facilities for bathing included a number of bathing machines. For less hardy dookers, indoor salt-water baths were seen as essential amenities.”

“Last summer a couple of buddies and I were camping. After a bit too much bourbon, my buddy goes into the woods to shit. He drops his pants and grabs a tree. One key point- he forgot to lean back and dropped a dooker into is^([sic]) drawers. We didn't let him back to the campfire circle.”

“Afghans didn't sit on the toilet seat to take a dooker. Instead they climbed on the seat and squatted over the hole, which left the seats soiled with mud and often crap (Afghans are notoriously bad aimers).”

“John goes to a cupboard. Out of it he takes a copper tube, about two feet long and an inch and a half wide. It is sealed at one end and has a leather thong at the other. 'There you are,' he says. 'A dooker, one I confiscated many years ago from a workman here. That's something else we just don't get any trouble with any more. People are more responsible nowadays.'”

“A "dooker" is nothing more (or less) than a thing-a-ma-jig; very similar, y'know, to a do-lolly. Silly gurrlll ... you can find a copper dooker (at least at MY hardware store) in the same aisle where you find the copper pipe. I haven't a CLUE what it's called, but it just fits right onto the end of the pipe (if you get the right sized dooker, which is always an important consideration — that the dooker be the right size — right, John? :-) ). It's not an "elbow", and it doesn't have a "T-shape." It has a little end that fits over the pipe, and it just blumps out to become a bigger size ... and it looks just a whole LOT like what the fashion gurus call a FINIAL!”
