tab whore
A person who keeps way too many tabs open, often to the point where Firefox has taken up all of their physical RAM due to its incessant memory leaks and has ballooned their page file within moments of starting up Firefox.
The severest case of a tab whore can be seen through this scenario: You have a lot of tabs open, so Firefox inevitably crashes. Rather than deal with loading up all those pages at once from the session restore tab, you start opening new tabs, thinking you'll deal with the session restore tab later. Eventually, Firefox crashes again; repeat several times. Now, you've got nested session restores going 5 or 6 layers deep and possibly a month back!

Hey man, my Firefox just crashed but our school has such a shitty internet connection that it's gonna take all day to reload all those tabs, so I'll just open new tabs after the session restore tab. God I'm such a tab whore.

Tab Whore
A dying breed of women addicted to Tab cola. In the 80's during the diet soda's heyday, these woman could be seen in sidewalk cafe's everywhere drinking out of the iconic pink can with a straw. They have been known to pull each others permed hair out over who got the last Tab. Tab Whores today have evolved in Diet Coke Whores and Diet Dr. Pepper Whores.

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.
