coke

Always available at bars, both over the counter as a soft drink or mixer and everywhere from the guest lounge to the toilets.

Often the word media or media bar means coke freindly, due to the common opinion that any person working in the media profession is a coke user.

Man at bar: "Vodka and coke please, barkeep".
Barman "Do you want ice in that?"

Man at bar: "Gram of coke my good man."
Tense guy: "We ain't got any. You want ice instead?"

Dagenham Dogs

Polite term for English built Fords, especially the XR series of Baby Killers and joy rider chariots.

Check out The Geezer in his XR3, flipping everyone the finger and trying to race everything from M3's to old women.

Urban Exploration

Like hiking, but in other people's buildings. Most urban adventures take place in derelict buildings, but also includes any location you can access without forcing entry.

Remember a joint and a camera to celebrate reaching the summit of your local really tall building.

Probably started by students living in halls in really big old universities who liked to explore all the tunnels and hatchs. Has even been featured on shows like Buffy and X-Files, firmly locating it in the "not cool, but fun" section of modern culture.

When urban exploring you should carry ID and consider if you have any suspicious articles on you, even a penknife can constitute a weapon if you manage to really make a dick out of yourself.

communist wine

Made by the inapropriate mixing of vodka. Can also mean paint stripper, meths strained through a loaf of bread, cheap alcohol.

Also Russian wine

Holy fuck. That tramp's got himself a bottle of Listerene, and it's barely even dark.

Ghost in the Shell

Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.

In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.

The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.

Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

We are ghosts in shells.

paranoia

Having a memory involving something dark and repressed and sweating profusely whilst you wonder just who else knows.

A free floating fear or anxiety that will latch onto just about anything.

Paranoid psychosis, a.k.a. 3 joints too quickly.

Pixies

One of Nirvana's quoted influences, having a similar self destructive, downbeat feel that personifed the Grunge movement in the early 90s. The Pixies were a little more colorful and violent sounding than Nirvana and had a good female vocalist on some tracks.

The Pixies are Surfer Rock, but their style is from Psychedelic to Punk to New Wave

The song "Where is My Mind" at the end of Fightclub re-kindled some interest in their style.
