spin

A dance, usu. in a disco where one turns his or her body round at high speed. Harder than it looks, but possible with practice and wearing smooth soled shoes on a wooden dance floor.

If you stumble or go off balance you tumble off at an angle bumping into other dancers = uber + uncool

If you can rotate smoothly three times, and come to a graceful stop at the same spot = cool + sometimes pull
John could not spin and can only freak at the disco, whereas Jerry could spin and pull lots of chicks.

ASBO's

Anti Social Behaviour Order, used mainly against youths who annoy ordinary respectable people and workers.

These can be in the form of curfew orders, so yobs cannot hang out in the street at night. Also to prevent street drinking, thus preventing drunk and disorderly bahaviour. Also to prevent agressive beggars approaching strangers for money.

A method of containment, while a longer term method can be implemented to encourage young people off under-age drinking, drugs, and to get them to school, and then to gainful employment.
John got an ASBO, not to use abusive language.
