Half-talker

While you're engaged in conversation, they're paying only half attention. The other half they're looking over your shoulder to find someone "better" to talk to.

It was a fabulous VIP party, but the room was full of half-talkers.

Hackney Half

When a London hipster pops ‘semi’ mid sesh after sinking a few craft beers with the boys

Woah lad’s, I may have a hackney half coming on!

Half Thirty

1. A deliberately indeterminate time in the future. Cross between half past the hour and thirty minutes past, but the hour isn't specified.

2. Never

Tell him I'll be there at half thirty

Baby, I'll be home at half thirty sharp.

half a shem

Shemo is Italian for idiot, embarrassment, crazy person. So to be a half a shem the worst form of shemo, your not even adequate enough to be considered a fully functioning shemo....your just half a shem.
