Civilization II
A classic turn-based strategy game created by Sid Meier. Endorsed by world leaders like Vlad Putin, George Bush and Saddam. Still modded and played by a small, Illuminati-like online cabal. True believers consider CIV2 the best of the series. Back in the glory days, CIV2 was as infamous as Morrowind for robbing players of whole days, weeks and months of their lives.

civilization syndrome
Civilization Syndrome is an affliction targeting gamers, especially turn-based strategy gamers, in which they promise themselves "just one more turn"--only to realize that seven hours have passed and they've soiled their drawers.
Most games that cause Civilization Syndrome possess an explosive mixture: they create long to-do lists for the player, which grow infinitely and exponentially with each completed task, and combine that with the ability to complete tasks easier and quicker than real-life, thus creating an overwhelmingly addictive illusion of achieving things.
Note that a game doesn't have to be turn-based to cause Civilization Syndrome, it merely has to produce addictive and never-ending to-do lists.
Named after Sid Meier's Civilization series, which codified most turn-based strategy tropes present in today's games.

"It was ten PM, my game was going really well, and I just had a few more things I wanted to finish before calling it a night. Next thing I knew the sun was rising. I got fucked by Civilization Syndrome."

breakaway civilization
A term first coined by UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, back in 2010. The term is his description of a particularly wealthy and powerful sub-set of the human race whom he believes have been secretly amassing for themselves exotic and highly advanced technology. Via this hoarding of high tech for themselves (and by keeping it from the rest of the world) these highly-placed elites actually live secret, hidden lives of extreme opulence and leisure. He has even postulated that via this advanced tech, they have built separate cities for themselves, located ether in remote places (such as underground, or on the ocean floor, or within the mountains of Antarctica, etc), or even off world.
The 2013 Matt Damon movie "Elysium" had a similar premise involving a massive, self-sustaining city that orbited the Earth and was the exclusive domain of the very wealthy. The only difference here is that in the movie "Elysium," the titular orbital city was not a secret, but rather its existence was fully known about by all peoples of Earth who could clearly see it orbiting overhead. The city was merely inaccessible to anyone who was not a wealthy elite.

The wealthy elites of the world have built for themselves a breakaway civilization, separate from the rest of the unwashed masse, where they enjoy technology far advanced from what we currently have.

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.
