Bro 2: "Bro that's crazy....so crazy it might just work."

Elon Musk Effect

1) The name of the effect where someone has an idea for a product that is so outside the box, no one thinks it will work, but it works way better than people thought it would.

2) (On Twitter) When Elon Musk links something or references a website, his followers (eg, the musketeers), will immediately click the link, overwhelming the site's servers and acting as a DDOS, meaning only the first several people to click the link will see the page, and the rest will have to wait for the site to die down.

1) Elon Musk: What if... like... we landed rockets on a drone ship in the ocean?

Everyone: lmao good luck with that
Elon Musk: *does it*
Everyone: Guess thats just the Elon Musk Effect

2) Elon Musk: stankmemes.com strikes again
everyone: *goes to site*
everyone: site is down, I blame the Elon Musk Effect.

Bill: "Fucking age gate! *quick scroll* THERE! I was born on January 1, 1904. Fuck you age gate."

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!
