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

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

COMMENTS:

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

Pronunciation: cop aa bil it tee

Sentence: She looked in the rear view mirror and spotted a police car with two officers in it following behind her. Every time she lane changed or made a right turn, the police car was right behind her. For over twenty minutes they continued following her, making her more and more nervous. She was afraid she'd make some small traffic infraction and give them a reason to pull her over. Were her license and insurance papers in her purse? Good thing she'd had no drinks today. The copability started seeping into her conciousness. Sure that they were tailing her but unsure why, she timidly kept up a brave face and drove on carefully. She happily noticed a donut house up ahead and hoped they'd get side-tracked. But no, they sailed on past it and kept on her tail. Her palms sweating and her fear mounting, she decided to try and elude them a bit by turning off onto a quiet street. Just then, their siren and lights went off and scared the wits out of her. Panic almost stopped her heart. They sailed on past her, racing to an emergency call. She pulled over and almost passed out with relief. Thank God they had not stopped her and found the body of her husband bound and wrapped in plastic her trunk!

Etymology: Cop (slang name for policeman) & Culpability (state of guilt)
