drugs, hanging out with dregs of society

s standard and hindering one's progress.
"A greasy night out" - a night out that involves enormous expense and negative health consequences but very little pleasure as compensation. Typically occuring in
London (because it's so expensive and overcrowded) a greasy night out would involve leaving the office at 6, downing 10 pints of Stella, spending fortunes on cabs to go to
crap clubs where you queue outside for hours, then buy more overpriced drinks inside, stagger outside, may or
may not visit a kebab house or a whore house, then get more expensive cabs home, and wake up in the morning to find you've lost you brand new
Armani overcoat.
Can also be applied to other situations, such as greasy mates (one's friends who encourage the above, but have no means to pay for it so you must pay for them aswell. They act as a kind of
grease multiplier).
What's the matter
Andrew; why's your face green and you're so miserable?
Had a greasy night out last night in Oxford
Street. It was filth. My greasy mates scabbed drinks off me all
night and I had to pay for the cab.
