Fear of coppers ... especially if you don't have any cents! If she faints from the fear would you say she was copped out? What a fun creation! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 15:57:00

Sure, she helped Waldo burn his draft card and disappear into the seedy underground, but that was long ago. They probably weren't looking for her, but the OMNIDREAD rose up in her craw like too many shots of sweet brandy.

Bush and Cheney are going to slip away unpunished like thieves in the night. - metrohumanx, 2009-01-12: 02:05:00

Actually, it was Roger Bacon who was imprisoned for "suspected novelties" back in the 13th century, i believe- but history has a nasty way of repeating itself. - metrohumanx, 2009-01-12: 02:21:00

Your suspected novelties are good, metro...interesting phrase! - Nosila, 2009-01-12: 19:13:00

Thanks, N ! I wish I could say it was my own invention (suspected novelties). - metrohumanx, 2009-01-13: 07:59:00

Pronunciation: awe-thorr-ih-tear-roar-een

Sentence: Was it a pothole? Brad was almost certain that it was, but it sort of felt like the truck bounced up instead of slammed down into the hole. The car behind him sped up, closing the gap between the vehicles at a pace that could only mean he would soon be bathed in red and blue light. He saw the outline of the roof mounted lights in the steel blue twilight of the sky. It had to have been a baby. He had run over a baby, and was now going to go to prison for the rest of his life. He would have a cell mate who was in the Vice Lords, and he would rape him...every night for three months. He'd toss him aside, a used shell of a man, trading him casually in the prison yard to a Mexican drug mule for a pack of smokes and a copy of "Jamaican Jugz". He would be unable to sit for weeks, and would have to sleep on the lice-ridden mattress on his stomach, crying himself silently to sleep, unable to...the car changed lanes, flying past him on the right, a blur of a red VW Jetta with a roofrack. Brad's authoriterrorian induced visage of the future faded as he crossed the rumble strip, quickly correcting to keep the truck on the road.

Etymology: authoritarian - submission to authority; terror - palpable fear

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.

Etymology: from blue + (ra)dar

I have nothing but the utmost respect for every police officer I've ever met, and I use the word "pig" in only the silliest imaginable way. - ErWenn, 2008-03-20: 01:06:00
