nice - I like copasetic too - Jabberwocky, 2008-03-20: 11:04:00

Double Kudos for Doubly Great Creates. Copasetic is now in the dictionary and can be spelled either copacetic or copasetic. At least in the online Encarta dictionary and dictionary.com - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 16:27:00

Pronunciation: cop ab il itee

Sentence: When Sherry forgot her purse at home and found she was driving around without her registration and insurance, she spotted a police car on every corner. Her copability was running in overdrive. She became particularly guilty of coplicity, when one of the squad cars appeared to be following her. She carefully tried evasive maneouvers, but it stayed with her. She was close to panic mode when the offending car swung off and into a donut shop parking lot. Whew, she thought...lucky they never realized that my no-good, two-timing boyfriend was bound up in the trunk!

Etymology: Cop (Slang for Police) & Culpability (a state of guilt)

Pronunciation: /ˈbluˌdɒɹ/

Sentence: Some think that bluedar is some sort of magic fuzzy sixth sense or pigcognition, while others claim that it's just a keen awareness of surroundings and good copstincts. But they can't fool me: I know for a fact that there's a powerful, invisible energy that connects all police officers together. It's called...The Force.

Etymology: from blue + (ra)dar

A SWAT van needed to chase a litter? Why only cited for drinking? Your sentence left me hanging! Please finish me off? Maybe I'm just copophobic ... scared too senseless ... to figure it out! Very meaning full word! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 16:56:00
