In da "Walrus and Carpenter" poem, da huge tusked mammal boo-hoos his way through his feast of oysters, but said copiously-blubbering performance is soon revealed to be totally immatearyal, since he is shown afterwards to not actually have been da least bit sorrowful or regretful for having shamelessly tricked said helpless bivalves into getting gluttonously consumed, and in fact, he'd actually eaten more than half of them himself, rather than sharing equally with his indifferent and unrepentant human woodworker buddy.

shareiff 

A derogatory term for an overzealous adult-supervisor of small children who really "lays down the law" when it comes to any of said youngsters' hoarding or otherwise being possessive and self-centered with toys, snacks, etc.
Being a shareiff in nursery school is often a thankless job; while you are indeed expected to maintain order and a peaceable atmosphere among the toddlers, you also aren't supposed to overly upset the bratty selfish offspring of rich/prominent families in the local area, and so you often end up having to just sit glumly by while they torment and bully the meeker and less-influential children, refuse to allow them to play with the nicer/fancier toys, behave gluttonously at mealtimes, and so on.
