a dialect of the english language that has developed recently in human history, largely due to the popularity of instant messaging.

A contraction derived from "IM" (Instant Message) and "English."
The young people of today have abandoned the fine literature and culture of their forebears and have instead adopted a dumbed down culture. They have even gone so far as to replace the gracious English language with what they call Imgrish.

n. The bastardization of the English language that is used in India and other shithole countries where call-center and technical-support jobs are exported so large corporations can profit off of cheap labor. The negative effects of 'Inglish' are often magnified by the poor telephone quality in these shithole countries. Please note: The term 'shithole' is not intended to be derogatory in this definition. It is merely a classification of these nations based on the fact that most of the residents live in poverty due to the low working wage and must shit into a hole instead of on a toilet. I'm sure they are fine people, they just don't know how to speak English.

I.M.lish or imlish. Abbreviation for Instant Messaging English. The result of typing so fast that letters are left off, words jumbled, and general grammar rules are thrown out the window for the sake of expediency. Corrections are not bothered with as the reader will no doubt understand the text anyway. Similar in nature to texting grammar but more unintentional and mainly a result of trying to type as fast as one speaks.

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!
