Definitions by AKACroatalin

English slang from the Westcountry where it means to eat noisily, greedily and rapidly without paying any attention to table manners, the quality of the food or the effect on other diners. The process is usually interspersed with grunts, belches and slobbering and would put a starving hyena to shame.
"Did you see Malcolm yaffle those cream cakes? I thought I'd puke!"

Science fiction author Robert Heinlein believed that everyone should attempt to be a polymath and that specialisation was for insects.
Leonardo da Vinci was a polymath and maybe Urban Dictionary author Gumba Gumba is as well

Awkward Squad 

Awkward Squad is the name given to that group of people in any organisation who cause problems and difficulties. They are apparently normal, everyday human beings, but when they get together, things just go wrong. They are not necessarily troublemakers, although in some instances they can be, but some strange synergy causes things to go wrong in their collective presence.

The origin of the word dates back to just after the Second World War when National Service was compulsory in Britain for males over the age of eighteen. This meant that all sorts of people, some of whom were totally unsuited to military service, were inducted into the armed forces. That they were unsuitable quickly became apparent, and they tended to be grouped together to keep the clumsy, the unwilling, the careless and troublesome in one unit which became known as the awkward squad
"Get ready for problems, the awkward squad is doing a computer presentation."

Spite Monkey 

A Spite Monkey is a type of volunteer editor working for Urban Dictionary who, having had a definition rejected, goes into a session to approve new words and rejects anything and everything irrespective of its value. A childish, nasty, little fuckwit whose actions hold back progress and discourage others from contributing. They don't bother looking to see how their definition can be fixed, they just throw all of their toys out of the pram and reject everyone else's definitions.
"I've had four sound definitions rejected by Urban Dictionary, I'm not sure why."
" Don't worry about it, it's probably just some American spite monkey who doesn't understand English!"
