fght ff yr dmns
'fght ff yr dmns' comes from Brand New's (pre The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me) website, and it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that it is the words "fight off your demons" with the vowels removed.
Although the band have never given an explanation as to what it means to them personally, the entire paragraph, as it was presented on the website, read:
fght ff yr dmns. wrt sngs n yr slp. fight yr dmns your DEMONS. w lv y. w mss y. i lv y s mch tht t hrts m hd.
(Translation for anyone who cant be bothered to work it out - fight off your demons. write songs in your sleep. fight your demons, your demons. we love you. we miss you. i love you so much that it hurts my head)
It remains unclear, to me at least, why there is use of vowels in two of the words and none of the others, unless it is merely for added emphasis.
Also, the line "I love you so much that it hurts my head" occurs in the song Degausser, which is from the newest album 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me'.
Brand New must still be using the phrase "fight off your demons/fght ff yr dmns' as it is splashed across the t-shirts sold to promote the new album (which makes sense - there seems to be a lot of Biblical reference incorporated into this album, and if Jesse Lacey has the Devil and God raging inside him, then it goes hand in hand that he'd be fighting off his demons).

donds
Supporting or agreeing with a previous statement. Seconding a motion.
"Donds" originated on Readers Recommend, a music blog on the website of the Guardian newspaper in the UK. It began its lexical life as a typo, posted on 13 May 2007 at 15:55 by "Ejaydee" of London, who mismanaged "seconds" (as in "I second the motion"), and wrote "Secdonds for the Sesame Street Theme Toon!!!!" This bounced back later as "sedonds", which was the accepted form for a few months--a joke mis-spelling along the lines of 'pwned'.
“Donds” first appeared when "BlimpyMcFlah" used an apostrophe to abbreviate in comment no. 657714 at 18 minutes past midnight on 24 August with "Immediate and massive 'donds....". By the following morning "donds" began to be used in its final form and meaning.
There have been some playful variants:
“dondage,” “dondarino”, the pseudo- Germanic “gedondheit”. But the default usage is “Donds to that.”
As of autumn 2009, "donds" remains a very common term on the Readers Recommend blog, but unfortunately it hasn't really spread beyond its place of origin.

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.
