catastropharian
Also found as Catastrapharian.
1. Someone who overplays or otherwise overstates negative events. Catastropharians thus create a ‘mountain out of mole hill’ or worse. Such usage also includes the hypochondriac’s reaction to describing a trifling malady such as a hangnail.
2. Someone who invents catastrophes when there are none. This would be akin to Chicken Little’s ‘the sky is falling’ pronouncement upon experiencing rain.
3. Alternately, someone who literally takes a bad situation and turns it into something worse, thereby creating a catastrophe.
“The catastropharian argument is, in a nutshell, that the larger financial obligations of an older population, when spread over a smaller base of younger workers, will create a ruinous fiscal overhang…"

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.
