Startup Girlfriend
A girlfriend of a start-up CEO or co-founder who understands that her boyfriend is a young, crazy, ambitious, aggressive, academically and socially intelligent monster whose sole purpose in life is to create innovative technologies and business models. Therefore, he does not necessarily care about anything that goes on outside of his company or the industry in which it operates.
She also understands that for a period of time, her boyfriend is cash-strapped, and therefore does not engage in spurious expenditures and demands such as bottles of liquor at Hollywood nightclubs, sushi at overtly expensive posh restaurants, and $22 sandwiches at Urth Caffe.
The ultimate startup girlfriend also comprehends that time and not cash is the most important asset.

Dude, Sharon is a total-startup girlfriend. I showed up 2 hours late to her birthday party and even forgot her gift at my apartment, but she wasn't upset at all when I showed up!

Startup
is when you have a great tech business idea and you make it a real business, but usually you fail (it's okay), because you're not that f*cking good businessman, or because it turned out that you had a shitty idea and you hadn't pivotted in due time, and you already spent all money.
Good startups (10%): Google, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Evernote, WhatsApp, Snapchat and every other that you using on daily basis.
Bad startups (90%): There are too many to list them, and it will be better to not say them aloud (superstition)

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.
