Drew Shortcut 

A shortcut that in the end proves almost no purpose. It is either so ridiculous that no one would ever use it, or it only saves a person one minute in a three hour car drive.
Dude, why did you just take that drew shortcut? It didn't save as any time.

Jersey Shortcut 

Jersey Shortcut – Second man in; or to “swoop” in on a situation where your buddy has already engaged in conversation with one or more women. It is not necessarily one’s intention to distract the girl your buddy is talking to, or to “CB” him, but to engage her friend in conversation as the “ice” has already been broken by your buddy. If, in fact, the girl your buddy is talking to seems more interested in you than him, it is acceptable at this point to make a move and potentially steal the girl away.
Example:

Rob – Yo, check out those 2 broads over there… yea, the blonde has been staring me down since we walked in.

Derek – Yea? …well then make moves son!

Rob – I got this.

Rob – Hey, what’s up.. you guys know of any good bars or clubs around here?

Blonde – (Insert engaging reply here)

Derek – (Swooping in from the side to talk to her brunette friend, instantly begins kicking solid game…)

Rob – Damn.. there goes that Jersey Shortcut again!

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.
