I confirm the word was in common circulation amongst Bluebell Railway enthusiasts in the employ of Southdown Motor Services(a major Sussex/Hampshire bus company)at its Brighton Head Office in the late 1970s. These persons subsequently organised a transport "event" (held at Hove Town Hall)named "Gricerama" - so the origin propounded above may well be correct
The bus station was impeded by the usual crowd of camera-hung gricers

Words you can keep
A trainspotter, someone who braves rainy and windy station platforms to catch a glimpse of unusual trains. An unproved etymology holds that this word comes from a humorous pronunciation of “grouse”, making the connection between the supposed resemblance of trainspotting to grouse-shooting. The verb grice and the participle gricing are back-formations from gricer. This is from the website for Times Online and is my sense for the word as it is currently used. I would drop the word 'unusual' as a more generic definition would focus on fascination with trains as evidenced by gricing, i.e. wandering about the planet to see, ride, and photograph them.

Several gricers were oohing and aahing with big grins as the heavy Chinese steam locomotive roared by in high dudgeon with a long line of ore cars in tow.
Person who enthusiastically collects numbers of traction engines or railway locomotives.
The gricer went enthusiastically round the rally ground collecting every number he could.

The word was first coined in about 1970 at the Bluebell Railway when a group of hard-core railway enthusiasts arrived one cold December afternoon to look around. In a removals van with the company name G.Ricer on the side.
It has since moved on in certain circles to apply to fans of other forms of transport eg Busses
gricers love anything to do with railways

Grocery-Sticked 

The often unneccessary act of someone placing the plastic divider on a grocery store conveyor belt to seperate their items from yours. Can be used as a metaphor for other situations.
Person 1: “Did you really just grocery-stick me? I have $100 worth of food and your only items are a candy bar and a tv.”
Person 2: “....Uh, I just didn’t want them to get mixed up.”
Person 1: “Never in the history of the world has anyone switched items with another person using a grocery stick because they would still have to pay for it.”

Steve: “Hey man, did you go home with that hot blonde last night?!
Kevin: “Nah man, I got grocery-sticked by her fat friend.”

Stacy: “Did you get Taylor Swift’s autograph?!
Monica: “Fuck no! I got up close when she got out of her limo but got grocery-sticked by three security guards!”
Stacy: “.....sounds hot
Monica: “No, look it up on urban dictionary .”

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
