Definition: The word "zonker" originates from Greek, meaning a small light or glow in a dark place. In biblical stories, it can refer to a person who seeks glory or power. It's an idiom that describes someone seeking or obtaining something without merit or hard work. For example, in the Bible story of Moses and Pharaoh, God uses a zonker to show him a way out of Egypt when he sought wisdom from Pharaoh, but instead causes his own destruction because he was blinded by the sun.
