Lingerberry 

Like a dingleberry (a resistant piece of fecal matter stuck to your anal/gooch hair, very hard to remove, etc) a lingerberry is the guy/girl of the group that is generally unwanted. They are just standing around, being antisocial, not contributing, and being all around weird. Usually, no one has the heart to tell them/ask them to leave. Lingerberry's always include themselves in other's plans, completely uninvited.
Miller: Why's he here? He's not even doing anything and no one invited him, he won't leave us alone!

Zerab: I know, I want to tell him but I don't want to sound rude. He's such a lingerberry, it's so annoying.

linger wraith

The smell of a sinister fart, long after it was released from the bowels of its purgatorial last resting place. So potent is a linger wraith that it can cling to a man's nose hairs on a rooftop in a strong wind for more than 2 hours! A linger wraith was said to have been so powerful, that after being released from its bondage in King Tut's Tomb, it still roams the earth to this very day unable to dissipate into rarity and is still claiming unsuspecting victims in every corner of the world. Clearly it's existence is a supernatural phenomenon.
victim: "Whoa the linger wraith from that incident at Taco Bell still haunts this room...!"

perpetrator: "yeah, I cut that one over four days ago!"

victim: "...Funny, how it seems to only to return in your presence and fade in you absence..."

perp: "...uh, yeah... pretty funny..."

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
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!
