\nThe child in me loves the word afraider … it’s a crackerjack creation! Excellent!<\/p>\n

\nGood one, stache…just cause you’re paranoid does not mean that someone isn’t following you…<\/p>\n

Tigger<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-20: 22:53:00<\/em>
\nOh, this is an excellent word. Perfect!<\/p>\n

ErWenn<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-21: 01:55:00<\/em>
\nFantastic 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.<\/p>\n

OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-22: 03:41:00<\/em>
\nGood word!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bluedar<\/strong>: \/-\u00cb\u02c6blu\u00cb\u0152d\u00c9\u2019\u00c9\u00b9-<\/em>\/ 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.

\nI 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.<\/p>\n

Nosila<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-20: 01:15:00<\/em>
\nMay the Force be with you, ErWenn!<\/p>\n

petaj<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-20: 02:27:00<\/em>
\nNice one – force um, this can be a real handicuff.<\/p>\n

OZZIEBOB<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-20: 05:22:00<\/em>
\nUnique: but somewhat boarish! I like it!<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-20: 15:37:00<\/em>
\nMaybe bluedar is a force of habit!<\/p>\n

\nMuch nicer way to say the cops scared one s***less! It took great wit and slyness to come up with this much nicer and more subtle creation! Well done!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
