Afrotizing
Afrotizing (Noun): The unwritten advertising industry rule that for every white person in a commercial, you need a specific ratio of Black actors with conspicuous natural hair/afros visible in frame. Started creeping up in the 2010s and became the holy gospel of marketing departments by the early 2020s.
The ratio can only go up, and never down.
There's a mathematical formula advertising nerds use:
• C = white people in frame
• A' = Black people in frame
• A" = total afro radius in inches
• 2025 standard: A' × (1+A") ÷ C must be > 25
• Indexed for afro inflation, 2026’s ratio will become 27.5
For example, you have 1 white actor and 2 Black actors with a 5-inch and 2-inch afro respectively. You're sitting at only a 16 afrotizing ratio and some marketing exec is gonna have a panic attack.

"I swear every commercial now looks like they ran it through some afrotizing algorithm. It's so formulaic you can spot the math."

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.
