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!"

rebound hunger

Eating less and gettting fatter!
This is based on dietricians' extensive studies that has linked certain brain hormones (ghrelin & leptin: store fat as enegry and control appetite respectively), that 'switch off' when a person enters a no-food dieting phase. Becasue of survival pre-wiring, the brain thinks that the body's famined so it stops burning life-affirming fat and store it to preserve vital organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. In the process, one who goes through long periods of fasting (generally stopping food intake and then eating large quantities of food more than you'd normally do to compensate for lost calories in what's known as the 'fast-feast' theory), becomes fatter instead of thinner!

The solution? It's clinical term is 'grazing', which means to eat separate meals through the day consisting usually of 4-6 mini-meals/ day. There's also a fad that promotes this 'eat more, get thinner' diet that ascribes a EMI (Eat More Index: 4,1 or more=2500 cals/day of low-fat diet), restricted to lo-cal fruit/veggies (called 'heavy food'), that you can eat as much as you want and still keep your weight.
Rebound hunger is also called 'Anti-Diet'.

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.

Code Name Rebel Crew

A hardcore crew of rappers from the ghetto known as Tring in Hertfordshire. As they said 'most rap is happening in London, but you don't have to be from London to rap.' First becamse famous after being featured on the 1989 hit tv documentary 'bbc rapping low down' they rose to fame from there. Ratty boy (aged about 10, siginificantly younger than the rest of the crew) is the only known and named member of the crew. They rap about serious matters such as global warming, racism and politics. Famed for their posh accents, brilliant dancing and beat boxing antics, this crew are the best (and admitidely only) rap group to come from Tring.

A comeback is rumoured for early 2009! (probably a complete lie)
