A shortened form of the "diaphragmatic startle" response where the diaphragm briefly contracts as the phrenic nerve is manipulated during surgeries such as thoracic outlet decompression.
The phrenic nerve descends along the surface of the anterior scalene muscle. To confirm its identity, gently manipulate it to elicit a dartle response.

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.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
