Salvietic 

-A bit like being on one of the Weird Drugs
-I took it when it was legal
-Do not arrest me
You can’t really sell Thumper or the Souls games to someone based purely on their mechanics, because the enjoyable thing about these games is when all these things are so ingrained that the mechanics themselves seem to fade away, and you’re fully transported into the salvietic nightmare of sound and sight.

morning selfie

The moment you wake up, you grab your phone and take a picture of yourself while still in bed.

The rule is you are not allowed to fix your hair, put on make-up, turn on the lights, or even remove the crusty stuff from your eyes. The first thing you will see will be the flash from the camera. Then you post the picture to social media.
Jane: Is that what you looked like when you woke up?

Tom: Yes. It was my morning selfie. It is the new trend, but not everyone has the guts to do it.

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!
