sherk /'sherk'/ (noun) someone who both shirks responsibility to do their own work and steals credit for another person's work, especially to advance themselves at the other's expense.

Etymology: triple portmanteau of "shark" (in the sense of a predator of other's efforts), "shirk" (to avoid work), and "jerk" (a contemptible person).
"Katharine Parker's character in the 1988 film 'Working Girl' is a canonical example of a sherk, an unscrupulous boss who steals her employees' ideas and claims credit for their work, while contributing nothing of value herself."

"Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, who voted 'no' on the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, later tweeted that he deserved credit for passing the widely popular bill, confirming once again that he is an 'odious sherk' as his critics have charged."

Water Sheringham 

The most realistic name for a dolphin. Based on the fact that dolphins are complete and utter cunts who know something that we don't but are clever enough to let us know they know something without actually telling us.

In land terms the only thing as cunty as a dolphin is Teddy Sheringham, ex-Spurs footballer.

Dolphins are the Sheringhams of the water, therefore 'Water Sheringhams'.
Look at that Bottlenosed Water Sheringham herding that unfortunate swimmer out to sea where they will be eaten by sharks.

How can we sink that enemy submarine? I know, let's strap a bomb to a Water Sheringham and teach it to explode when they get close enough.

sh(e)-ri-se\ as a girl's name is a variant of Cerise (English, French), Cherise (Old French) and Sherisa, and the meaning of Sherise is "cherry".

This is also a synonym for "the embodiment of awesome". Sherises tend to be pretty, intelligent, and confident.

Some may categorize some Sherise-like actions as "weird" but that is just her awesomeness levels temporarily spiking too high for humans to see it. This phenomena causes Sherise to sometimes be called she RISE as she rises above all that you thought was possible.

Many Sherises also double as carriers of "dat ass".
*sigh* I wish I was Sherise...

A Shenika is a Fine ass amazing woman with an amazing personality. Crazy, unusual & Unique. Unlike any other girl you'll meet. Beautiful & sometimes bitchy but only because she knows what it's like to be hurt. Overprotective over herself. Aggressive, Stubborn & hard- headed but also very big- hearted! Very trustworthy. Never takes anything for granted. Outspoken & says whatever is on her mind. Don't break her trust or she will not only break your heart but your face too! Don't underestimate her she's more than what meets the eye!
Shenika, your crazy!

A woman that is hard to get and hard to hold. Once you fall for her you'll never get over her. No other woman could come close. She knows u spirituality and emotionally and gives you everything you need physically but only if she wants to let u in. She doesn't let many in. You will never forget her and will always want her to help u understand yourself. She is a woman. She is the whole package. Every woman has private parts but this woman has a brain. She has power and once she's touched you she's taken all the power of control you ever had.
