intellectual whore

An intellectual whore is someone who sells out their intellect to any subject, however unlikely, undeserving or unworthy, in the pursuit of personal gain / kudos / attention or basically just to show off.

My incredibly clever friend who used to write underground 'zines is now making millions marketing merchandise to the 'youth'. He is such an intellectual whore - he'll lay his brain down in anybody's bed if the price is right.

shook

1) a state of physical unwellness related to the overindulgence in alcohol
2) being in shock following some kind of traumatic event where you are safe and well now but seconds ago saw your life flash in front of your eyes and your fear of death hasn't quite been replaced by your continuing grip on life.

1) Jaysus but we had some amount of pints last night, I confess I'm a bit shook today.
2)"That car nearly hit you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank God, just a bit shook"

dekko

I am not sure whence this word originates, it sounds like something the British took home from India. It means to look at and, sort of, assess/absorb something. It is widely used in Ireland and the UK

'If you bring your new work along this evening I'll take a dekko at it'

Well

In many towns in Ireland, 'well' is a salutation or greeting. Having used the expression all my life, I've never been able to figure out whether it's a kindly-meant enquiry as to whether or not all is well with the person so addressed, or simply an expectant demand for news updates - in my hometown, it always felt like the beginning of an interrogation!

Well, girl, haven't seen you in ages.
