Non-Committal Grunt
A short, indifferent-sounding grunt whose meaning far exceeds the audible expression.
The non-committal grunt is neither a refusal nor agreement; rather, it prompts continuation of the conversation without exposing your position. It can also be used in lieu of the Yup, especially those cases where you want to avoid inadvertent agreement.
Can be employed as a more politically correct version of whatever or pfft.
When deploying the non-committal grunt, one must understand that they are stating the following:
“I hear you and acknowledge that you have stated your position and are expecting a reply before continuing; however, at this juncture I am not committing to subscribing to your point of view.”

commitation
Commit messages to a VCS that serve as (likely the only form of) documentation. Code comments are sometimes sources of amusing rants, but commit messages are usually comedy gold. (for nerds)
There isn't any documentation but the commitation is excellent. You probably won't need much else to get the code running.

grebo
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.
