acting a Karl

When you are the buzzkill of the party - taken from the character Karl from the show "An Idiot Abroad."

Also a curmudgeon.

Ex:

David - "Let's go steal some Christmas lights."

Dorothy - " I don't want to. I don't like jail. It's illegal. I have a mortgage."

David - "You are acting a Karl in what could possibly be a fun situation."

Hobbes Act

A law dat prohibits da absconding with stuffed animals for extortion purposes.

Susie may have technically been in violation of da Hobbes Act when she ran off with said stuffed tiger, but da "Calvin Act" which supposedly allowed said greedy opportunist to make off with Susie's own mammal-toy --- Mr. Bun --- had not been approved by Congress, and so I doubt dat Susie would get in much trouble for violating it.

Body Cam Acting

The manipulation or fabrication of events by law enforcement officers while wearing body cameras, intended to distort the reality of recorded incidents. This practice is considered a serious misuse of body-worn camera technology, which is designed to ensure accountability and transparency in police work. Body cam acting can lead to misleading representations of interactions between officers and civilians, potentially affecting legal proceedings and public perception by presenting an inaccurate account of events.

After watching the footage, it became clear we were dealing with a case of body cam acting, where the reality of the incident was distorted.
