rest area vs. arrest area

Describes the "pleasant versus unpleasant" quandary that you face when making a road trip on a budget. The D.O.T. may indeed instruct you to "never drive while drowsy", but good luck explaining that to a cop with a quota who taps on your car window at 2 a.m. in the morning to find out why you're parked along a deserted stretch of highway to sleep till dawn.
One simple way to avoid the whole "rest area vs. arrest area" debacle is to simply schedule your sleep-stops around the available "official rest area" locations that are situation along your route... sure, it may take a bit longer to complete your journey if you hafta "call it a day" at 5 pm instead of at nightfall because there will be no other rest areas for another hundred or more miles, but at least you can slumber in peace, knowing that you aren't parking somewhere overnight where you might be given grief.

couch arrest

When you are in a state that requires you to sleep on the couch it can be for a night a week or months. Couch arrest can happen in a relationship when the other people don't want you in the bed or it can be with roommates who don't have a bed to sleep in and you got to sleep on the couch it can either suck badly or be really cool depending on the situation

arrest room

What a store's WC becomes if'n yer fool enough to take merchandise into said toilet-retreat.
Best advice to keep a REST room from becoming an ARREST room --- just don't take chances by performing suspicious-looking activities while loading yourself up with merchandise from a store's shelves... put all your items in a shopping-basket or cart and leave said receptacle OUTSIDE da door of da crapper-cubicle, okaaayyyyy??? If yer worried about people's stealing your stuff, ask an accompanying friend or a security-guard to watch your basket, or leave it at da courtesy-desk or behind da cashier's counter till you get through takin' yer whiz/dump, then retrieve your load of treasures and continue shopping.

arrested development

Stunted formative years due to your frequently getting cuffed by da cops.
Mike Hamar tells Red Green how he knew da legal system --- and da back seat of a patrol car --- inside and out before he was sixteen, yet as an adult he still acts really naive and immature about many other topics; sounds like a classic case of arrested development to me.

Partiac Arrest

Adj- Hard night of partying, where one wakes up feeling oh so beaten up.

Noun- Best local band Lafayette has to offer. Full of bodacious doods, and rockin' music
I woke up this morning with an extreme case of partiac arrest.

Man, last night I went to a Partiac Arrest show, it was most certainly the greatest.

Arrested

That's not going to make the parents feel any better about it and if the threat of child murder isn't enough of a deferent isn't enough to stop you from doing something I think is wrong why do you think that the threat of being arrested is enough of a deferent to stop me from doing something you think is wrong?
Hym "I assumed I'd be arrested for THIS! That's the funny part. You're using the thing I already thought was going to happen as a deterent to prevent a worse thing! You're a moron. And you need to be saved from yourselves and that is exactly why I am here."
