The shrine is a term for the community of individuals who class themselves as Otakus. An otaku is an established fan of anime/manga.

Many Otakus choose to hide this side of themselves in order to avoid judgement or ridicule. The Shrine is a movement to encourage Otakus to be proud of themselves and embrace their fandom.

Therefore if you are an otaku, that embraces their Otaku nature without shame or embarrassment. You are part of the Shrine.

I am a member of the Shrine, now excuse me while I go stream an episode of Noragami on Crunchyroll.

The Shrine

The sacred place that a group of stoners will select as the main area they will smoke their finest marijuana.

Usually a Shrine will be in an area that suits all of the groups smoking needs.

Once selected the Shrine is then thought to be a pilgrimage site for other stoners who would like to experience how another group smokes their green.

The owners of the various Shrines are then referred to as Elders and are free to do with their Shrine as they please.

A good example for The Shrine would be a downstairs toilet with an air filter or an outside shed with seats in.

shrine of the silver monkey

Probably the most popular of the rooms in the final temple challenge on the Nickelodeon game show "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Inside the room there were three pieces of a statue of a silver monkey. The participant could not go on to the next room until he or she put the three piece together.

Nostalgic Dude: "Dude, it was so frustrating watching kids who couldn't put the statue together in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey"
Other Dude: "I know! There were only three freaking pieces! How difficult could it be?"

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!
