Brainism
A colloquial synonym for encephalocentrism or neurocentrism, often used pejoratively. Brainism treats the brain as the only relevant organ for understanding mind, reducing all mental phenomena to neural activity and dismissing psychological, social, or spiritual explanations as “folk.” It is common in pop‑neuroscience headlines (“This is your brain on politics”). Brainism ignores that brains develop in bodies, bodies in environments, and environments in cultures. It is a form of intellectual laziness that mistakes a necessary condition (you need a brain) for a sufficient explanation.
Brainism Example: “The brainist claimed that ‘poverty is a brain condition’ after reading one fMRI study. He ignored decades of economic and sociological research showing structural causes. Brainism as ideology.”

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.
