At first she is a shy girl. But this changes abruptly when you get to know her. She can be funny, sweet, devilish, fun, and very friendly. She's not at the top of her class, but is a very responsible and smart girl. Not one to be angered, she'll bite back if annoyed to a certain point. But most importantly, she is beautiful and has a great personality.

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.
