Not to be confused with the lower-case-initialled word, Cracker is a kick-ass police drama series from the UK starring Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid in the Potter movies) as a criminal psychologist in the employ of Her Majesty's Police. He is Scottish (of course) and grimly determined to have show-down after show-down with his wife over his additions to gambling, cigarettes and alcohol. Has a bit on the side with Sergeant Jane Penhaligon (whom he refers to as "Panhandle"), played by Geraldine Somerville (Lily Potter in the movies). He is deeply pessimistic and cynical and possessed of an ineluctable Celtic perception (sans tinsel and cliched stuff; think of the real Scotland) of the fundamental bleakness of the human condition. Sarcastic as hell. Unforgettable.
Oh, yes, the criminal cases are kind of interesting, too.
Did you catch Cracker on the tube the other night? Did you see the bit where Coltrane's smarmy colleague jumps off the roof?

crackwhore 

A woman who's crack addiction is so bad that it is the only factor running her life and making decisions for her. She cannot hold a job -- not even as a stripper -- and is forced to do the ONLY thing she can do for money... sucking and fucking. And she is sickened when she thinks about where she has ended up and does it all over again to get her fix so she can forget for a few hours... and then again... and again... life is absolutely miserable between fixes and the only time she thinks clearly, rationally and for HERSELF is shortly after she starts smoking up.
I'd love to kill all the worthless pieces of shit who have ever been involved in the process of turning a girl into a crackwhore.
I fell in love with a crackwhore (before I really knew she was one).
Don't ever try to help a crackwhore... she can only help herself.

Crackin the Beads 

Hairflip with attitude. The new "WHATEVER!" The equivalent of rolling your eyes in digust, except, using your beads.
Girl: "Hey everyone, look at my new ring that I just bought. It was very expensive!"

Guy 1: "Hey! What kind of mood ring have you got there?"

Girl: "... You're a mood ring!"

(After turning her nose up with disgust, the girl stomps away with major attitude.)

Guy 1: "Whoa!"

Guy 2: "Dude, she was totally Crackin the Beads at you."
