CRO

An attempt to make Croydon sound vaguely cool by using a bastardisation of the postcode for central Croydon (CR0), which just sounds exceptionally contrived and, frankly, stupid. Especially as the pub with the same name has been closed since mid 2003, having run out of potential new owners.

It does confuse people making online bookings, though, since they hab itually use an "O" rather than a "0" when filling out the form, and it won't go through.

Usually put about by the writers for local fanzine Wired, which is as depressinmg and unjournalistic as you can imagine.

"Well, if Compton is CPT, I guess we'll be CRO."
"Dosn't that sound contrived and wanky?"
"No - it sounds cool and well 'ard..."

Cro

It means bro, but the ‘c’ is in place of the ‘b’ to represent crip. It’s the crip version of how blood’s say ‘blood bros’. It originated in Canada and is now commonly said there and in the UK. Most of the time people use it they are just referring to a friend and nothing Crip related. ‘Crodie’ is another way of saying it, and ‘cronem’ means a group of cros.
