The best text-editor of all times. Even better than Vi. Millions of features, and entirely customisable. Not this long to load that Vi-fans would say. Emacs is available on almost every unix based system you can imagine, and also on Windows. With its tons of keyboard shortcuts and key bindings (also customisable), you will produce code faster you you have ever done
Vi is the only text editor I know in which you have to type commands to insert text...

Huge text editor in unix, long to load but powerfull and apreciated by a large group of programmers. But Vi is faster ans better ... Also known as xemacs with graphics stuff.

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!
