Dysnomia

Confusing particular names for one another, for example 'Sarah' for 'Lisa' and vice versa.

Similar to dyscalculia, wherein someone may believe that 5+6=10, dysnomia can strike at any time with the sufferer being nonetheless completely unaware. Most commonly dysnomia occurs when meeting another person for the first time and exchanging names as part of the initial greeting: "Hi, my name's Lisa..." and the conversation then continues and after ten minutes of talking the other person confidently bids them farewell, unintentionally substituting another name for the person's actual name, only to be corrected.

Dysnomia can cause offence and insult to the person whose name has been misremembered, and confusion and embarrassment to the person with difficulty remembering the names.

ORIGIN: coined in German from dys- ‘difficult’ + Latin nomen ‘name’.

"Sorry Lisa, I often confuse the names Sarah and Lisa, it's my dysnomia... Oh, I meant sorry Sarah... You know what I mean."

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.

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!
