Similar to Catoptrophobia (Cat-ope-tro-phobia) and Eisoptrophobia (Eye-sop-tro-phobia), Spectrophobia is one of the many different reasons a person might be scared to of mirrors. Spectrophobia is specifically used to describe a person's fear to look into a mirror and see something other then their own reflection such as a spirit, demon, or something not of the normal human world. Symptoms of this phobia could be trembling, shaking, faster breathing, increasing heartbeat, crying/screaming, sweating, or panic/anxiety attacks whenever looking into a mirror.

Girl 1: "I'm so scared of seeing a ghost or something really scary whenever I look in my mirror. Sometimes I have anxiety attacks over it!"

Girl 2: "Oh my god you might have that one phobia. I think it's called Catoptrophobia..."

Girl 1: "Really?"

Girl 3: "Noo... I think she has Spectrophobia. That's the fear of seeing something other then your reflection in the mirror. Catoptrophobia is the fear of seeing your own reflection."

Girl 1: "Yess, I definitely have Spectrophobia. It's so scary!"

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.

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!
