Detective Wizard's definitions

flymptom

A false symptom, either a legitimate mistake, but also sometimes used deceptively by someone to trick others into believing that the person has a condition that does not really exist.

The person was trying to determine where the wood creaking noises were coming from, a clear case of a flymptom, as he was not looking around the room aimlessly as you described.

pestimony

Any type of testimony that is either given in a court of law, or possible testimony that is uttered to someone, solely to pester or intimidate a person. Can also refer to testimony that is later proven invalid or false.

I am so glad to hear that the court case was dropped, due to an overwhelming amount of pestimony that was discovered by the judge and jury.

herocop

A person involved in any type of law enforcement, that intervenes, going above and beyond the normal call of when he or she observes something truly wrong about to be done, as the result of systematic failure, typically preventing an innocent person or persons from being wrongly arrested, detained, or in any way negatively affected needlessly. It typically implies that the person has taken a risk to some extent, and was later indemnified and looked upon as a true hero of society, possibly being the first to leave footprints for others to follow in similar situations.

Officer McDonald is a true herocop for preventing a travesty of justice that would have otherwise occurred if the person's residence was needlessly visited or stormed to apprehend the person that was falsely accused.

I acted like a snoop clown to get the folks that were looking at me through my window to laugh.

I really love that movie "Blue Thunder", and especially the coppercopter that Roy Scheider, who coincidentally played the part of the Sherrif in the movie"Jaws" flew, and looped.

peeping Rockford

When I discovered the hidden surveillance cameras in my home, I felt somewhat violated, and realized that I might have fallen victim to a peeping Rockford.
