refactor
New-age (or whatever) way to indicate you're rewriting someone's code. Maybe it's intended to sound less pejorative, but it's usually a smokescreen for rewriting someone's code under the guise of using unspecified, and therefore unassailable, "refactoring rules" of which only you are knowledgable.

grebo
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.
