Bluedar
Created by: ErWenn
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

Very clever and funny. Thanks for info on copasetic. I think I first heard it used in the late 1960s by someone at Mission Control, Houston when speaking to Gene Cernan, saying "Everything is copasetic, Gene." I don't know it's etymology, I must try and find out about it . - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-22: 00:49:00
