Dorbist
Derived from the phrase "Don't Rock the Boat" (DoRB), Dorbist is a term used (as either noun or adjective) to describe the tendency inherent in senior managers, or others with a stake in a system, to take no action to improve services, address problems or tackle problematic people/issues that are obvious to those working under them.
Someone exhibiting reluctance to act when faced with obvious problems or other negative consequences flowing from the poor/misguided/ill-informed decisions of their seniors.
Derived from Dorbism: a reluctance to act as an agent for positive change due to the perceived risk that such action will be viewed negatively by superiors, or those perceived as having 'power' or influence (including the press)

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.
