To go through a portal, usually rashly or hastily. To rush into a situation blindly. A good way to end up in the blinds.
"That new waiter blitzed through the door to the kitchen and ran straight into a cook carrying a dished of bananas flambé."
Nonsense, or something that would be laughably passed off as such.
"Trickle-down economics is just sheer barkle, cut taxes to the rich and they just shift the extra money to off-shore bank accounts."
Someone willing to do anything, no matter how degrading, for any amount of money; named for the "road apples" left behind by ponies in rural town streets.
That apple-chaser has been climbing into garbage bins to collect cans for recycling. He's do anything for to put jink in his coin-purse.
A rather unfriendly way to call someone an idiot.
That addle-coved barkeep threw me out of the Styx Oarsman just for lighting a torch!" Also a noun, as in "He's an addle-cove!"
An almost-polite way to say "shut up" or "don't talk about that."
It's quick, to the point, and can be used as a warning: "Bar that, there's a cop over there!"
Overly cynical, said by many a rube about all city-slickers.

A partner-in-crime. An accomplice.
I would have got scragged by the cops, but my Adam had our getaway car running when I robbed the jewelry store, so I got away unscathed.
