2/3 rule 

A rule that states that if a food item sounds 2/3 good, it must be good.

Originated at a Taco Bell, whereupon the creator was deciding whether or not to buy a Caramel Apple Empanada. The creator had no idea what an empanada was, but caramel and apple made it sound 2/3 good. The Caramel Apple Empanada turned out to be delicious, and thus the 2/3 rule was born.
Indecisive customer: "What's fried chocolate guano?"
Friend of indecisive customer: "I don't know, dude, but it sounds 2/3 good. By 2/3 rule, you have to try it."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
