What is Shylock?

I don't know about Shylock HOLMES, but i do know that Shylock was a character in one of Shakespear's plays (The Merchant of Venice). He was a Jewish usurer, so saying that a person is a Shylock means he's a loan shark.

You shouldn't mess with the guys down on 57th, they're real shylocks and the interest rates will kill you.

Shylock - what is it?

A late-19th-century consulting-detective who charged wayyyyy too much for his services.

If you think that Shylock Holmes charged too much for helping you legally, you would be totally "shocked" at how much his faithful sidekick, Doctor Wattson, charged for HIS medical services!

What does "Shylock" mean?

new shoes that take a pound of your flesh before you break them in. usually sandals or some other cute shoes. the cuter the shoes, the more shylocky they seem to be.

e.g. "I have blisters all over my feet...these shylock shoes have taken their pound of flesh!"

Shylock - what does it mean?

It officially means loan shark, but in reality, it should mean, victim, victim that reacts and gets punished because "Jews aren't supposed to fight back"! Like Shylock himself!

Example 1 Shylock (rightfully angry)-and what's his reason, I am a Jew!
Everyone Else in the play-You deserve it, you're a Jew!
(In the end he is forced to convert to Christianity!)
