Detective Wizard's definitions

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 still can't believe that we now have to look at that ridiculous "Caution Hot Coffee" message on some of our coffee cups, which is somewhat of an insult to one's intelligence, due to that darn flawsuit.

I was aware of some overly curious types looking at what I was doing on my laptop, so I desnooped them by working under a wool blanket.
