Verboticisms

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

COMMENTS:

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

May the Force be with you, ErWenn! - Nosila, 2008-03-20: 01:15:00

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

Pronunciation: Fuhz-ih-foh-bee-ah

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

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
