Confounding Variable
Variables that occur when the two explanatory variables , x and z, have a collective causation effect on y. The difference between the two cannot be distinguished because there is not enough evidence to determine the validity of a statistical relationship.
Weight gain is greatly influenced by activity level, but age, the confounding variable, also plays an influential role on weight gain.

Compounding nigga moment
A moment where ignorance overwhelms the logic of an otherwise rational negro, and that ignorance then overwhelms another rational negro nearby until all negros in the vicinity are in a "nigga moment".
We were in the middle of a grief counciling session when a black girl got up and started talking about how she felt and how she didn't like some of the people she works with and about how we have "cliques" all the while getting further and further off topic and louder and louder in a full blown "nigga moment"... Next thing I know all the black people in the room are yelling at each other. Hence a "compounding nigga moment".

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.
