Greaser

A greaser is a rockabilly-styled American from the 1950s. A greaser typically wears jeans, boots or sneakers, a leather jacket, and greases his hair back with styling cream. The movie and musical Grease parodies the greaser life style. Other movies that depict greasers are The Outsiders and The Wanderers.

Also derogatory term for Mexicans or Mexican-Americans.
