Shelf Interest

When the types of books on someone’s bookshelves arguably gives a good insight of their personality, character, or (hidden) identity.

Jack’s shelf interest focuses on true crime books. What are the odds that he’d be a potential serial killer waiting to strike?

special interest

A "special interest" is one I do not share. One I do share is "the public good".

Labor is a special interest; breaks for manufacturers like me are the public good. We create wealth - at least for ourselves.

special interest

Oftentimes people with autism or ADHD have special interests, which are things that they can get sort of obsessed with.

Vee: *is wearing a shirt that says ‘ask me about my special interests’*
Someone: hey what are your special interests?

Vee: oh! one of mine is crystals! do you wanna hear some stuff about them?

someone: sure!
Vee: okay! *talks about everything they know about crystals for 1-2 hours*

Side interest

Similar to side - hoe but you don’t have any sexual encounters with them . Just someone you have your eye on just in case you breakup with your current partner.

Becky- hey bob down to f*ck tonight ?

Bill - nah Becky your just a side interest , maybe when I’m not in a relationship you hoe (wink wink 😉 )

self-interest

An interest decided purely on one's own decision.

I use self-interest, for example I don't want to get out of bed, it's not my interest (self-interest in action).

do you want some interest?

a nonsense phrase coined by some dumb Koreans, which actually means 'do you crave for attention that much?' ,or 'are you an attention seeker?' , as the Korean word 'gwans(h)im' means both 'interest' and 'attention'. if you see someone say so(especially could be often seen in online games chat such as Overwatch), i could 100% assure you that he's Korean. you'd better take him down starting off by 'work more on your English, you dip shit.'

angry korean game nerd:병신 시발 die die die fuck do you want some interest?
others: what does that even mean?
