1. A witty and infectious saying, quote, mannerism as mastered by Aaron. Originally used to describe the mannerisms and colloquial language of Aaron the brother of moses. Also sometimes called Aaron the Levite (אהרֹן הלוי) (Exodus 6:16-20)2 who represented the priestly functions of his tribe, becoming the first High Priest of the Israelites. In modern history the term is more readily used to describe the poorly imitated mannerisms, language, and humor of Aaron of Surry.

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.
