an oddly addictive, endearing cop dramady on the USA cable network, centering around the character of Adrian Monk (played by Tony Shalhoub), a San Fransisco detective battling with obsessive-compulsive disorder and his grief over the death of his late wife, Trudy.

I couldn’t care less (but one must keep up appearances, right?)

Monk is a word that can be used in place of many other words just for the fuck of it. It can be used as an adjective noun or verb

I can't believe no one has given the real defintion yet. A monk is a dedicated religious person who lives in a monastery.

An incredibly good show starring Tony Shaloub. Sharona used to be Monk's assistant but she left and now his assistant is Natalie :-( But its still the funniest show on. Monk is afraid of milk, dogs, germs, small spaces, elevators, kids and birth. He is OCD and needs everything to be perfect. His wife, Trudy died in a car bomb accident and he will never be the same. Hes funny though, and so is everyone else on the show.

A flounder that has an unnatural ardour for 'mguu'. Often looks like they're walking on a peg leg. Overly expressive when talking (a lot of head movement, hand gestures, shaking of the face much like Richard Nixon).
