The Apple MacBook. Called the EmoBook because the edge of the keyboard is poorly designed and is sharp, which cuts up your wrists.
"I thought Bernie went to a Cure concert, his wrists were so cut up... but he was just on his EmoBook."

T.M.I. on your facebook status updates:

1. Over-Updating your Facebook status with EVERY DETAIL of your life.

2. Constantly writing status updates with TOO MUCH INFORMATION about what you are doing, ALL DAY LONG.

3. Assuming someone (other than you and a stalker) cares that you are "going to work, the gym, making calls, eating dinner, shower, then sleeeep!"...

4. Basically, telling everyone when you shit, when Seriously... NO ONE CARES!
"I'm deleting Ashley. Her egobooking makes me roll my eyes so much it hurts...

Why Does she update what she is doing every hour?!?!?!?!?!?!... NO ONE WANTS to hear about her food issues or menstrual cramps!!!!!! UGH!"

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!
