Dork as a verb?

You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and buzz off.

Could you tell me what dorkin' means in the sentence? I do know it's used as a noun but I've never seen it used that way. Thanks in advance!


The sentence is quoted from http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Transcripts/Griffon_the_Brush_Off

Hi

Dork is quite rude US slang.

You can use it as a noun, to say that someone is stupid: "Stop being a dork."

As a slang verb, it therefore means to act as a stupid person: "This is a serious situation, so you need to stop dorking about."

I can't find a dictionary reference, but I'm sure it's used as a verb

It just means: messing about, acting in a stupid way
