The Dead Tree 

A form of dance used to show that you and/or your friends are having more than just a good time. To perform the dance, all one needs to do is simply put their arms infront of them (kind of like a zombie) and put your head down. Then kind of bob up and down and there you have it. Simple, yet amazing.
Example One:

Joe: Look at Ford on the stage! ...What is he doing?
Peter: Why, that's The Dead Tree! Ford must be having a great time.

Example Two:

Jimbo: Dude, I love this song!
Wallace: DO THE DEAD TREE!!!

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
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!
