aha, this does appeal.
bleb could be a B-list celebrity (cf zleb = z-lister)
i'd like to think crambo is a seafood stew but no idea.
ditto fyke
ditto grigri
hoicks is self-evidents as part of the verb hoick, not aware of any other meaning
is phat just the neologism for spiffing?
titi rings a bell, think that might be an animal of some sort

Or on second thoughts a few ring bells as locations in Terry Pratchett's discworld novels.
edit:
Oops totally missed the point of the question, I was looking for a connection between them. The worrying thing is that I had more chance of finding a connection than I do of identifying any of their meanings!
