pointy-haired

1. (adj.) An esp. stupid person who may or may not be your boss. Often associated with managers and stupid bosses, the phrase was coined in the daily comic strip "Dilbert" by Scott Adams, in which Dilbert's boss (Pointy-Haired Boss happened to be his name) had a pointy, devil-horn-like haircut and was especially stupid and over-promoted.
1. Our new mission statement is "We envision to authoritatively foster quality intellectual capital while maintaining the highest standards." Whoever made that up must have been pointy-haired.

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.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
