n. A metaphorical object posessed by those who use very verbose words to sound smart, or posh. Those who constantly borrow from other languages to sound more clever also have an inkhorn. If an person's inkhorn is said to be large, then they come up with inkhorn words more often. People with larger inkhorns will often borrow more words.

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.
