Words you can keep
Much like the word shrew, but taken much further. This term is actually for men (rather than women) with a violent, scolding, or nagging temperament. The term also involves arse-kissing and memory loss. Shrewdies are often seen with brief cases and bluetooths to make them feel like they're important but... not so much.

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.
