Contrary to some theories, this is not a British adaptation of the American pejorative cognomen heel. In the USA it means someone who is a bit of a petty jerkoff but in Britain it is applied to people who are total shits, the wasters, skates, snotrags and OICs who plague society like festering sores. The word is said to derive from the British upper class pronounciation of 'hole' (heale) an abbreviation of the word 'arsehole' (awseheale). It was first used by upper classes in the early twentieth century when it became fashionable for flappers to use ‘bad’ language. For a long time it was virtually unknown outside fashionable cliques like the Cliveden Set and was frequently used to describe people they didn't like. It wasn’t until comparatively recently that it became more widely known due to the internet and period dramas. More people began using it although there is still some confusion with the American insult heel. A rather snide use is to use it to refer to someone, knowing that they know what it means, or that it will get back to them, strangely it usually seems to be women who use it in this way.

An alternative spelling for heel. The word itself is usually applied to someone who is a total tosser, waste of space or OIC and derives from the British upper class pronounciation of 'hole' (heale) an abbreviation of the word 'arsehole' (awseheale). It was used by upper classes as an 'in' word to describe people they didn't like, social climbers, nouveau riche and so on who wouldn't know what it meant. It gained wider usage due to the internet and period dramas so more and more people found out what it meant and began using it. It's major use now is when some upper class twit, or someone who thinks thay are, wants to pile on the agony and uses it about someone knowing that they will overhear or that it will get back to them and that they know what it means.
I say Samantha, that dreadful creature Malcolm something-or-other is positively fawning over everyone?
Oh God! What a complete heale!

Healeish 

Not to be confused with hellish, healish is English slang derived from the word heale, it is an adjective used to describe someone whose behaviour is that of a total tosser, waste of space or OIC. They are the sort of people for whom arsehole is too kind a name, who are narcissistic crawlers with little in the way of either intelligence or talent. Avoid them at all costs as their proximity will bring on attacks of acute nausea.

Double-headed Mutant Eagle 

Russkies are far too lazy and indifferent to take care of their environment and prevent its pollution, although a polluted and toxic environment can cause genetic disorders.
Previous generations were well aware of these character traits and therefore proactively chose the double-headed mutant eagle as their coat of arms.

In some individuals, the environmental pollution might cause paranoid psychopathy with delusions of grandeur and overvalued ideas, that kind of person lives in a parallel world, completely out of touch with reality such as Vladolf Putler.

Elisa Haley 

Elisa Haleying is a term used when someone does anything perfectly. When someone flawlessly does something, you can say that they "Elisa Hallied that task". Elisa is a kind hearted and morally driven individual that focusses on being the best version of herself and strives to help others in any way she can. Elisa treats everyone fairly and often brightens people's days. She is intelligent, ambitious, empathetic, talented, and kind. In essence, she is every good thing that a person can be.

If everyone were like Elisa Haley the world would have no famine, war or conflict. People should learn from Elisa to become an empathetic leader and pillar of their community.

Therefore it is a great honour if some says you are "Elisa Haley" or "Elisa Hallied" a task.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
