QuacksO's definitions

sybiling

A brother or sister of Basil Fawlty's wife.

The raw-nerved Basil Fawlty is already scared/stressed-out enough by his "little piranha fish" spouse when she's just there herself, so he'd likely go totally whacko if one or more of her sybilings came to visit, as well.

prosticutor

A legal zealot who either poses as a "customer" in order to entrap streetwalkers so that said zealot can subsequently press illegal-propositioning charges against them, or offers sexual favors to court-personnel and/or plaintiffs/defendants in exchange for their "cooperative" testimony or other ethically-questionable actions.

I try to avoid legal entanglements at all costs, since I know that there are so many prosticutors out there.

Stingapore

An Asian province with high concentrations of nettles, bees, and other living things that one would not wish to get too friendly with.

With all of its assorted "painful" attributes, it's little wonder that Stingapore has been a hotbed for strife and upheaval for so long.
