A gribbly is the opposite of what can be classed as a chav. He or she will wear clothes which may be considered to be of a fashionable nature, or from a chav point of view, 'shit'. Clothing can also be unfashionable, but will not be purchased from JD Sports, Soccer Sport, or JJB. These shops are the bane of any self-respecting Gribley's life.

Their musical tastes cover a much wider range of genres as opposed to that of the chav, who is only likely to listen to drum 'n' bass, and hip-hop. As Gribley's are a range of Grungers, Goths, and Skaters, in addition to the human specimens who may otherwise be 'undefinable'. This therefore means anything from jazz to funk to rock to grunge may be encompassed. In the south, only Emo's have survived this so called 'Gribley takeover'

The creation of the common Gribley, and elimination of other groups of this nature, shows an advancement in the density of our modern day chav. Unable to keep track of Grungers, Goths etc, the Chav resorts to what, in their mind, is a magnificent generalisation, and a superb putdown. In addition to this, it starts with a 'G', so no need to change their vocal chords!

As well as the musical taste, and the clothing style, another distinctive hallmark of the Gribley is the 'Gribley attitude'. Their are differentiations within this, but they are not of the type to pick fights, egg houses, or shoplift from Londis. No, they are far too lazy. Adopt a 'we don't give a fuck' attitude, and you are halfway there.

Emo, incidentally, is a different term from a gribley. Call a gribley an emo, and expect a verbal protest, even from the most pacifist Gribley.

Ever met a vegetarian Chav? No, that's because only Gribley's are vegetarians. Emo's like red meat, it represents blood, preferably their own.

The final, most recognisable feature of a Gribley is that a Chav will refer to him as a 'dirty fucking gribley'. They will then proceed to attack you and attempt to steal your 20gb Ipod, which you only got last week. If this happens to you then you are a true Gribley.

However, if you are a Gribley, you are not a Gribley. This is because Gribley's do not want to be labelled. They are their own person.
Chav: Brrrrrrrap Wat! Look at that dirty fucking gribley!
Gribley: *whimpers behind tree*
Chav (to gribley): Oy blut wat you chatting, I'll rag you up hard!
Gribley: Here, take my Ipod, but plkease don't knife me!
Chav: *stabs Gribley and takes Ipod looks at music* This is shit!
Gribley *dying on floor*

Invariably lives with parents. May find “Work” as a hopelessly inept “Sound Engineer” at a dismal live music venue where he can rave about his mates’ extreme Death Metal bands and pour miserable scorn over any he doesn’t know.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
