Wonk

The word was used - strictly as a verb - at Harvard in the 1950s, to mean "hunker down for some serious studying," as in "I can't go out tonight. I have to wonk for my chem exam." The folk etymology was that it was KNOW spelled backwards, though how that led to the new meaning was cloudy at best. Though I never encountered it as a noun, I suppose people who did it could have been called wonkers.

I have to wonk for an exam.

A word made up by a youtuber, Moriah Elizabeth. It's the shorter way to say wonkey. In other words, it means that something doesn't feel right or is messed up.

In Moriah's exact words, "I had to fix up the shape because it was looking a little wonks."
