a state of being sure enough and well enough to feel grounded and content in one's existence; a sense of physical and emotional well-being that is rooted in a deep appreciation for one's surroundings and the present moment. Pronunciation: "SHOO-well" /ˈʃu wɛl/.

It is a portmanteau, blending the word "sure" & "well". Word originated from the phrase "Sure enough that the ground is beneath me, Well enough to stand on it", as a substitute to the "phrase "good" or "fine" response in everyday conversation that is more honest than saying "good" or "okay" when we are not always feeling that way.
Sally: Hi, How are you?
Samuel: I'm suwell.
Sally: You are swell
Samuel: No, I mean suwell, Sure enough that that ground is beneath me, Well enough to stand on it.
Sally: Oh I see, well in that case I am too.

Thomas Sowell 

Black economist known for his clear and concise arguments on complicated economical issues.

Anecdote: He was a Marxist throughout all his youth, even when taking his Ph.D in Chicago with Milton Friedman as a teacher. However, one summer working as an intern for the Department of Labor made him assume that the general interest and the government interest weren't on the same line.

A T.Sowell quote: “The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.”

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
