Yiddish for "beans", or figuratively "nothing, nada, zilch". Can also be an offer so low as to be an insult, and as Leo Rosten noted in his classic "The Joy of Yiddish," "bupkes" is a howl of outrage often heard in the cutthroat world of show business.

These are hair follicles growing around the ring (aka “the pink quarters”) of the nipple. They can grow to disgusting lengths and despite folklore can grow on women’s boobies. It is not quite a boob, not quite your pubs but it’s your “bubes,” the name for your nipple hair.

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.
