Stumponics 

A specific type of jargon used in the city of Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.

Portland, Oregon was nicknamed Stumptown in the mid 19th century, when the city's growth forced land to be cleared quickly to accommodate the growth, but the tree stumps were not immediately removed.

Currently there are 8 subcategories of Stumponics in PDX.

These subcategories pertain to each geographical and by nature social graphical region of the city. The regions divided by the Willamette River which runs South to North and sprawling Burnside Street which runs East to West.

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.
