rebop

1. An early version of the term "bebop," i.e., a modern jazz style popularized by Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and others. The term continued to be popular in England into the 1970s, and is sometimes combined with "bebop" to produce scat-sounding jive talk--e.g. "Bepob with the Rebop."

2. Cab Calloway uses it generally for joyous, intoxicating music, with a hint (as so often in Cab's hep talk) of drugs (see example).

Cab Calloway lyrics, from "Hi De Ho Man" (1947): "How'd you like to blow your top?/Dig yourself some fine rebop?/ Hi de hi, he de he,/ It's the Hi de ho man, that's me!"

Hardcore Reboot

Turning a computer on and off about 10-20 times as fast as you can. Usually done when your computer does not start up normally and you are to angry to fix it in a calm and constructive manner. Too many sessions could result in permanent damage to a computer.

Windows 98 could not boot to the desktop, so I showed it who's boss. Now it won't even turn on.
