Building a Case
(verb)
The act of mentally collecting and storing every minor annoyance, slight, or shady move someone makes—without confronting them—instead choosing to silently stew and let resentment quietly pile up over time. Eventually, the collection of grievances becomes so vast and emotionally charged that you end up completely resenting the person, often without them even realizing they were on trial in the first place.
Basically the butterfly effect of hatred. One unwashed dish becomes the foundation for a full psychological prosecution.

"I didn’t say anything when she was late... or when she borrowed my hoodie and never gave it back... but now she breathes too loud and I want to scream. I think I’ve been building a case."

More from Urban Dictionary
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.
