Second Set of Books

A set of rules, procedures, guidelines, special training, etc. written by individuals or institutions charged with interpreting and carrying out the law. Contrary to popular belief, these rules can have very real legal effects on us even when they include extralegal procedures. Police profiling, court sentencing suggestions (even for those not convicted of any crime), and creative applications of civil asset forfeiture are some well-known examples. The term was coined by Thomas Ball in his "Last Statement."

TL;DR: The laws nobody gets a say in.
Nobody cast a vote that men should be singled out for arrest in cases of mutual or ambiguous IPV, but it's mandated by the second set of books the police follow.

Security through apathy

Reliance on nobody caring enough about your account or system to bother trying to hack into it.
"Dude, shouldn't you use a more secure password than 'qwerty' for your Tumblr account?"
"Nah, who would want to bother trying to hack into it? There's no credit card information or anything like that stored in it."
"Security through apathy. I like it!"

secret stain

Secret wank stains sometimes found in absurd locations.

If one can collect enough stains it is said he or she will be rewarded in buckets of gold and a man's weight of sapphire.
Secret stains are as perhaps assumed quite secretive, and most visible during early daylight. If one is to confirm something is indeed a stain of the sort one has to smell to recognize the unique tuna signature of the wank stain.
I was lurking about in Teena's flat when, through carefull investigation and sniffing, I found several secret stains.
