either
a) for a police officer/detective/Sherlock Holmes or anyone along those lines in hot pursuit of either a of a criminal (usually a juvenile delinquent truating or in search of new adventure (unplanned) in the great outdoor wilderness.
b) can also be used as a derogatory term for a couple who have sex outside in public (usually on the bonnet or
hood of their own parked
car).
NB: my
definition a) comes from the fact that some criminals aressted after a foot chase are brought back to the officer's patrol
car/van, physically shoved onto the hood and then handcuffed. Also when people get lost in the wilderness while travelling by
car, they might sit on the hood/bonnet of their
car and think about what to do, sometimes waiting just long enough for an unplanned adventure to come and find them 9like a bear coming out of the wilderness to smell your vehicle). my definition b) refers to the fact that some couples do use the hood/bonnet of their
car to have sex in public, think its okay, simply because its their
car.
two police officers in discussion, after one of their fellow officers go off on a foot chase:
officer a): where'
s my partner
Michael?, you seen him?
officer b): i think I saw him on it like a car bonnet, chasing after that
hot female teenage delinquent.. (moments later): Tom, here goes the answer to your question, there's
Michael (pointing at a car parked some distance away). He is on it like a bonnet, raping that girl, instead of giving her a hefty fine.
officer a) Thanks
man, well looks like that girl didn't have the money to pay the fine anyways, so she got what she deserved. Let's just hope she doesn't have a beautiful disaster.
