Jewsplain
To explain in a condescending, oversimplified, and often inaccurate manner, without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, usually done by a Jew to a non-Jew.
Jewsplaining usually occurs on the topic of Zionism, anti-semitism, or the State of Israel. For example, a Jewish American who has never set foot in Israel could jewsplain the experience of Palestinians in Gaza to a Palestinian refugee in the USA, despite the Palestinian having more experience and live updates from family members in Gaza. Jewsplaining often frames the abuser as the victim and often includes accusations of anti-semitism and heavy gaslighting.
Not all jewsplaining is done by Jewish people. As US President Biden has so firmly claimed, you can be a Zionist even if you're not a Jew. So it is quite possible for Zionists of all races, genders, or religions to feel it is their right to jewsplain.
Related terms include whitesplain, straightsplain, and cisplain. The overarching thread is someone privileged explaining something to someone less privileged, about a topic the explainer knows less about.

A: The Palestinain people are faking and overexaggerating the number of deaths and trauma from Israel's bombings. They are inflicting a Holocaust on Israeli Jews, and by extension all us Jews worldwide!
B: Are you Jewsplaining the trauma experienced by Palestinians? And playing the victim while throwing thousands of bombs at innocent people, wiping out family lineages, and bombing hospitals with the sick and wounded to dust?
A: You're anti-semitic. You hate Jews. You want us to be erased from the Earth. All Palestinians are terrorists and they must be exterminated for Jews to be free.

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.
