shambord

A spontaneous ejaculatory exclamation akin to “Oh my!” or “what a thing to see!” or “I feel surprised at that!” that pertains to conceal the original Mavis-Staples, Michael Jackson, Bo-Selector pronunciation within a distinctively French verbal wrapper. The ‘Bord’ connotes centuries of cultivated Bordeaux wineries thus elevating it beyond the funk and soul originals (and subsequent parasitic 80s devolvement-demise).

Person A: It’s freezing cold for a dog walk today, isn’t it?

Person B: Shambord!

YorkWolf

A person (usually a learning designer) who has listened to so much of a particular dialect (in this case the Yorkshire-region) that he/she begins to howl in an identical accent at the screen in spite of the fact that no-one up North deserves this monitor-spraying behaviour.

"Ay up me monitor"

That learning designer is fast becoming a YorkWolf.
