For the non natives as confused as me, from the urban dictionary :

When you get hit on the head, bonked on the cranium. Hyperbolically, when your brain is scrombled and you're somehow out of commission. Originally from a Popeye comic panel.

#Comics #popeye #Bonkus of the konkus #I just went to a linguistic trip and it was wild #In my people's language the word for head is “conca” pronounced konka #So I searched if konkus and conca had the same origin because they sound similar and both mean head #Not only their origins are different #Konkus is the fake “scientific” name from conk #After the 19th century slang conk=nose used in “getting punched in the nose”#This was a weird trip first thing in the morning
