Definitions by AKACroatalin

This is slang that originated with American soldiers during World War II. Many US troops were armed with their fully automatic equivalent of the STEN gun, the M3 submachine gun which, because of its resemblance to the mechanic’s tool was called the ‘grease gun’. With the slightly macabre humour prevalent amongst those who are in combat, enemy troops killed by this weapon were referred to as having been ‘greased’.
It quickly came to mean killed by multiple bullet wounds from any type of machine gun. It was during the Vietnam War, however, that its use expanded and increased quite dramatically until it became used to describe any death in action against the enemy.
There is now some evidence to suggest that the word greased is being used to describe any violent death, even where this is not in combat and when it may even be an accident.
“Tommy got greased yesterday! Fucking great pallet of bricks fell on him at the building site!”

Perfunctory 

Perfunctory is an adjective, it means to do something without any real interest, effort or feeling. If you do something merely to get it over and done with then that is perfunctory. If it’s something you’ve done that you don’t give a shit about then that’s perfunctory. Indifferent, apathetic, perfunctory, three ways of saying the same thing.
A lick and a promise is a perfunctory wash.

Ellen Degeneres 

Septic oonch fancier with acute princess syndrome who purports to be a comedienne and chat show hostess. Unknown outside of the United States, her interviewing technique appears to centre on asking her guest personal questions, accusing them of lying and ridiculing their answers. Americans appear to find that entertaining, on social media it’s known as trolling, not funny, not pleasant. Her attempts to break into British television have resulted in annoyance and advert irritation to their viewing public. This is not too surprising as a previous attempt to move into the UK market was decidedly unsuccessful but it appears that she can’t take the hint.
