Sentence: When Gretel was three (or was it five?) years old, she had slipped from the kitchen chair when she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "My parental units did not handle the discipline well," she told Dr. Hippolatta Thalamus, her therapist. "I think I've tranferred my repressed anger to the police and anyone in authority, even my beloved Facebook. I think they're going to remove my profile picture for breastfeeding and I haven't even had a baby." "I have been familiar with this type of paranoia since the mid- 1960's," the aging doctor told her, "In the field, different spellings were tried: phuzziphobia...fuzzaphobia...phuzzafobia...but, by the early 1970's fuzzifobia was generally accepted and even made it onto a Peter Max Pop Art poster."

Etymology: From FUZZ a street term for police + PHOBIA, from the Greek for 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. 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

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

Pronunciation: awto-culpa-sep-shun

Sentence: Julie became acutely aware of her parasympathetic body functions such as her breathing and eyeblinking as soon as she noticed the cops walking in her direction. She new she wasn't speeding because she was walking. No, perhaps they caught her jay-walking two blocks ago, or maybe someone reported her when she accidently stepped on a praying mantis. Or perhaps it was Homeland Security coming to get her for something she said on a telephone call, or the evil thoughts she had towards her boyfriend's ex. Whatever it was, Julie was suffering from an acute case of autoculpaception.

Etymology: auto (self) + culp (fault, blame)+ ception (perception)

The child in me loves the word afraider ... it's a crackerjack creation! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 15:29:00

Good one, stache...just cause you're paranoid does not mean that someone isn't following you... - Nosila, 2008-03-20: 22:34:00

Oh, this is an excellent word. Perfect! - Tigger, 2008-03-20: 22:53:00

Fantastic word. Most X-dar words (including mine) seem to imply that the detection is actually _effective_. I like that this one goes the other way. - ErWenn, 2008-03-21: 01:55:00

Good word! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-22: 03:41:00

Sentence: Generica quickly took a mental inventory of her possible transgressions when she saw the herd of uniformed coppers converge on her zone of control.

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
