Zoeing
Words you can keep
safe zoning
The art of distancing a "lover", or good friend in an orbital space. Not too far, not too close. When they get too far, you pull them back in, when they get too close, you push them back out into the "safe zone". This keeps the person in your life, exactly where you want them.
The bitch wants to get married, and I don't. The sex is great, but I'm just not ready for commitment. "Safe Zoning" her would be to ignore or be non-committal to her emails and phone calls and when you've totally pissed her off, send her a dozen roses, fuck her, and repeat the cycle.

zoning
Zoning..... is where you stare at something, completely oblivious to the world around you, and oblivious to the fact that you are staring at something, whilst either thinking about nothing and being in a kind of trance, or being in deep thought. "Zones" can last either a few seconds or a few mins. At the end of it, you suddenly realise your zoning and snap out of it, coming back to the real world

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.
