Cravicky's definitions
A tan on the left arm of a police officer, that occurs from driving around for a lengthy period of time, with his left arm hanging out the window. During the summer months, police officers wear short sleeved shirts. But because they spend most of their time in the cruiser, only their left arm gets tanned from the sleeve down to their fingers. The word, "copper" is derived from the nickname given to police, because their badges were made of copper. That term was then abbreviated to "cop".
This is similar to a farmer's tan; in which both arms are effected.

Woman at the beach: Sir! Can you help me? You're a cop, right? Somebody just stole the wallet out of my shoes!!
Man: Sure, I'll be happy to help. But I'm not even in uniform. I'm only wearing swimming trunks. How did you know I was a police officer?
Woman: That's easy! Because you have a copper tan! Oh...and because your beach towel, duffel bag, beach umbrella, and beach chair all have "Police" written in huge letters...and you have a badge pinned to your chest. That must hurt.
Man: It does.

Get the Transhandedmug. Also, Candy Crevice Cut; a cut on your tongue or lip from candy canes, lollipops, and hard candy that developed a thin sharp crevice. The crevice is created by natural holes in the candy that is developed in the cooking process, then thinned out by sucking the candy until there is a partial opening into the hole that tapers into a "v" shape. The tongue, usually a tastebud, slides into the crevice, then upward into the razor sharp edges. This usually causes your tongue to bleed all over your candy, leaving a sweet metallic taste in your mouth.
"This candy is so delici....OW!...blast it! I just got a crevice cut, and now my tongue is bleeding!!"
"Hey dude! Enjoying that lollipop? Because a candy crevice cut has turned your lemon lollipop red! Ha!"
"I'm not eating another candy came any time soon! I'm still recovering from a crevice cut from the last candy cane I ate! It took out an entire taste bud!"
