Words you can keep
The Eastern Area of Los Angeles, which is a primarily Hispanic community now facing the unfortunate challenge of gentrification.

East La is also used as a metonym to describe the Arizona capital city of Phoenix. It was given that name because Phoenix itself is currently being flooded with Los Angeles transplants and is also falling to gentrification. It is also geographically east of Los Angeles.
"Man, I remember when Señora Guadalupe always made the best sopes on this street. It's too bad East LA is losing it's culture."

"Phoenix is just an East LA nowadays. So many folks from Los Angeles here..."

East Lansing High School 

A school in Michigan with 1000+ teens who don’t know how to act. The school is very divided and you’re either solo or in a huge group of friends that eventually will break off. The staff is nice with a few exceptions but like every other school the teachers have favorites, and fall out of love with their job and it shows. Party’s always kinda suck because no one knows how to have fun anymore. The girls there are pretty and kind (on the outside) but also will stab you in the back, a lot of them are insecure and sad but they hide it with trying to overachieve at everything. The guys there like to get with every girl before they “settle down” and don’t know how to make up their minds about anything + they’re mediocre looking. I hope everyone at ELHS can get their heads out of their asses and be a little nicer. It’s not that hard. We do pretty good at sports though.

East Laurens High School

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.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
