Off-License 

A place (in the UK) where you can purchase alcoholic beverages for consumption "off the premises". As opposed to a Pub, Inn or Bar, which holds a license to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises. Often referred to as "the off'y" Many Pubs or Inns also sell alcohol for consumption off the premises too, but charge what they would have charged if it was sold piecemeal over the bar. (Then it would be called pricey or dear.

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.
