A name for a student who is enrolled in the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. This term applies to the nerdiest of all music nerds: those students who can not make conversation without including a cheesey music joke or discussion of the latest piece they are working on.
Wow, you are such a craney!

Words you can keep
As opposed to a Libby (Liberal Arts Major) at SUNY Potsdam, the Craney (Crane School of Music Student @ SUNY Potsdam) graduates with a real degree. Cranies move on to graduate school or real jobs right out of college while the Libby moves on to McDonald's, Burger King, or most often Arby's. In some instances, Libbies move on to pumping gas at Stewarts, and rarely leave the North Country.
Craney: I'll have a whopper with cheese.
Libby: Would you like fries with that?

Craney: Are you going to flip night?
Libby: No Duffs, then Streets, then jumping in the Raquet River.

More from Urban Dictionary
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!
