Made up words have historically always been the best words. Their origins come from all kinds of places whether it be pop culture, the current slang of a generation, or just a word that you thought sounded funny. Regardless, made up words are a great way to spice up your conversations and have fun while you talk! The best part is, these new words never stop coming and on that note I would like to introduce the world of blogger to the latest and greatest imaginary word: grebe.
Grebe, not to be confused with the waterfowl, came about when some of my friends were brainstorming new words to act as insults. Several others came up aswell, lugman, magoomba, jagaloon, and each with their own infliction but grebe stood out by far as the best. Our band of extraordinary word-makers has revolutionized slang with grebe and I would like to keep you ahead of the curve. You're welcome.
At this point, you may be asking yourself, "If this is the next big thing, how can I stay hip if I don't know how to use 'grebe' appropriately in context?" Don't fret audience, for I have all of the answers. Grebe is not nearly as complex or overwhelming of a term as it seems, in fact it's fairly easy to use. As I have mentioned previously, grebe originated when my pals were attempting to come up with new insults, therefore grebe came about to be a derogetory term. Although it can be used as just a general insult, there are several key behaviors the invoke the use of "grebe."
The first and, in my opinion, most fitting behavior that is deserving of grebe is when somebody is overreacting or freaking out. Let's say, hypothetically, that you're riding in a friends car and you change the radio station. For whatever reason, this invokes a reaction from the friend and they throw a tantrum about how they liked the song that was playing. In circumstances such as these, it is completely acceptable to say that your friend is a grebe or that s/he is "grebing out."
Other situations in which the use of grebe is a fitting are the following:

Other situations in which the use of grebe is a fitting are the following:
- when a person is being obnoxious or annoying
- when somebody is acting strange or weird
- if somebody dresses in an unusual manner ("He looks like a grebe in those slacks")
- a substitute for an actual profanity, assuming that the profane word was used as a noun to label the individual (What a jack@$$ -> What a grebe)
With the history and context explained, you are now ready to effectively use grebe. Not only is it a fun word to say but grebe will more than likely throw off your opponent as many do not know what it means at this point. Feel free to use it in your everyday speech and don't be afraid to make up words and insults of your own. Thanks for listening, grebes.
