Rockbelly 

1. To excel in any given area with no experience.

2. To be innately excellent at a given task without prior training or experience. Especially in regards to physical prowess.

3. To be a hard man/woman for no apparent reason.

Origin:
Originally from biology, where the belly and throat of land mammals are the main targets for predators. Some individual animals were observed to repeatedly escape attacks from predators (large cats etc.) despite having no obvious physical advantages. Biologists joked that these individuals had “rock for bellys” and predators could not bite into them.

Phrase has been bastardised and is common among weightlifters and body builders. Can also occasionally be seen in internet forums
"Man I work out all the time, but Mark still kicked my ass"
"He rockbellyed you good....... bitch"

Winry Rockbell 

Winry Rockbell is the childhood friend of Edward and Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. She is a skilled automail mechanic and engineer--she made Edward's right arm and left leg when he had made a mistake from human transmuation.

Winry lives in the quiet countryside of Resembool, where she was raised by her grandmother from her dad's side. Her parents were brilliant doctors who helped out in the Ishvalan civil war, and they were killed by their own Ishvalan patient--Scar (who, at that time, was unconscious).

Winry is not only there because she is Ed's mechanic, but she is the constant support of both Ed and Al, and she represents the "normal" person of the FMA society.

Not only did she give Edward an arm and a leg, but she also helped a mother deliver a baby, saving both of their lives. She helped Al make up with Edward after they had a quarrel. Winry also helped rid Scar's (who had killed her parents) vengeance against State Alchemists--she actually tends to his wounds, and she cleverly uses herself as a "hostage" of Scar to distract the enemy.

In the end, she is an important part to the plot in FMA, and without her, some things would have been left out or changed completely.

Winry accepts Edward's proposal two years later after the defeat of the antagonist in FMA (Father), and they get married and have two children (an older boy and a younger girl) in the future.
FMA fan 1: "You know Winry Rockbell from FMA?"

FMA fan 2: "That one mechanic that's always paired up with Ed? She's sooo useless! She never does anything important, and she's only there to be Ed's mechanic. And Ed's MINE!"

FMA fan 1: "Uh, go read the manga...because obviously, you're still a newbie to FMA."

Rockabilly

Rockabilly is not a style it's a way of life.

Rockabilly started out as an underground subcultured music before the birth of Rock 'n' Roll in the 1950's. It was then revived in the 1980's with bands such as The Stray Cats and The Polecats.

Rockabilly is classed as a mondern day 1950's style. But it's roots go much deeper.

You can notice a Rockabilly Guy by there Slicked Quiffs, Turn-Ups and Engineering Boots or Converse.

Girls usually wear the same but with a Quiff, Bettie Paige fringe or Curled hair.

There are several weekenders dedicated to this lifestyle that Thousands of people from around the world attened.

Being interested in the 1950's and Rockabilly is not just about dressing like they did, but also about changing your lifestyle. Listening to only 19-40's to early 1960's music.

It's one heck of a way to live though!
Look at the Hollywood on that Guy.

Roll on the Rave.

You must be a Rockabilly you look like Elvis.
