Combination of Windows and Intel. Refers to a computer running the Windows operating system and powered by an Intel microprocessor. In practice, the term is applied to computers running Windows, regardless of the actual microprocessor used.

Mildly derisive term, frequently in the phrase "wintel box", used to distinguish other systems (Mac, Linux, etc.) from the 80-90% of systems used by the proletarian masses.
We were hoping to get Macs in the office, but the drones in IT went out and bought more Wintel boxes.

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.
