Words you can keep
When a guy asks a girl out and she tells him yes, but really means no because she's too nice to say no, which in turn messes with him more because he continues to think he has a chance, but really doesn't.
"Wanna go out with me this weekend?"
"...Yes."

"So are you two going out?"
"I dunno, she's being all gay and withdrawn, I think it's a yes-no."

yes/no/maybe/lobster 

A meaningless but more exciting variation on the "yes/no?" question. Popularized by Gan Xingba's Avatar: the Abridged Series.

Can be abridged as "y/n/m/l?", but chances are, if your friend is not a hardcore Avatard, s/he will have no idea what the fuck that you're talking about and get confused.
Should we go see the movie? Yes/no/maybe/lobster?

Yes no maybe 

Being unsure of the answer and keeping them on the edge.
Usually followed by the Malcolm in the Middle theme song-
'Yes no maybe, i don't know. Can you repeat the quesation?
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW!!

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW!!

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW AND YOU'RE NOT SO BIG!!

life is unfair..'

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!
