Solid Mantis's definitions

Media

The media is a lot like the police, they don't have to be on your side, so they're not.

The media calls themselves trusted, that doesn't mean anybody else is calling the media trustworthy.

Phil Hartman

A guy that from the description of him by people around him, didn't have his name associated with suspicion, yet he was shot by his wife. It can happen to anybody.

Bold

Not shy.

Percy was just a little too bold about telling the medic he was going to ride the lightning before he got pepper sprayed in the face, since their jurisdiction was in the guy's face, as they would say.
