capitalist exploitation
Capitalist exploitation simply means the fact that after its commodification the price of your work force on the market is much lower than the value it produces.
Think about it this way: worker X in company Y is producing commodity Z (goods&services). But a wage's worth of commodity Z is created by worker X in only a few hours of labour. The value his work force is rented for by the capitalist is much smaller than the value it creates. The private person owning company Y (don't forget corporations are also legal private subjects) then
appropriates the surplus value created by the labourer.
Simply put: if a labourer creates the value of his wage in a very small amount of his labouring time, who then, is he in fact labouring for most of the time?
Not only does capitalist exploitation entail that most of the value that working people create will be appropriated from them, but also that their limited precious time on this planet will be appropriated from them.

Mark sold 100 fast food meals priced at $5 in 8 hours. In two days the total value he creates is $1000. Yet he has to work for a full month to receive a salary, a wage of $800. Because Mark in unaware of capitalist exploitation he believes he is reverencing a fair pay for his work when in fact he is labouring extensively for the profit of other people.

exolopical
When someone uses this word, you know that they are trying to make themselves look smart. If someone says it in a speech or something, everyone else's jaws drop and they point and say, "OH MY GOD!! BIG WORD!!!"
"Exolopical" is most appropriately used in a persuasive speech, but is a very dexterious word, since it has no real meaning, just a purpose. It is most properly used in proximity with the word "indubitably", which is real, and should be ass ociated with the ZFNNANLWPD and the phrase "reverse the curse".
This word was created by one Dylan Forest while writing a speech about world literacy, and it kicks ass.

Urban Exploring
The act of exploring locations that are abandoned. An urban explorer will be one who goes to locations to take pictures, video or just to look.
Someone who goes to an abandoned location to commit vandalism or other kinds of illegal activity (besides trespassing) should not be confused with an urban explorer.
Urban exploring is not just limited to "urban" areas.
Urban explorers usually follow the rule of:
Take nothing but pictures...
Leave nothing but footprints...
Break nothing but silence...
Although this rule is commonly broken in a way that people will sometimes take items for a personal souvenier. This is something that does not bother most unless things are taken in mass quantities for a profit.

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.
