Perjury Trap

When you know someone did something, you ask them about it and they lie to you.

Lying when the other person already knows the answer.

I was caught lying under oath about robbing the bank. They setup a perjury trap since they had it on video the whole time!

percussionist

a person who is well rounded in playing various percussion instruments that include: Marimba, timpani, cymbals, snare, bass drum, Piano, synthesizer, bell tree, chimes, tom toms, tenors, gong, slap stick, maracas, etc. They should be skilled in all of these, for example: being able to play an awsome snare duet while running back to your vibes to play a 4 mallet solo. They also have to be able to read music, wether in bass or treble cleff.

Ana: So you're a drummer?
Mike: No! I'm a percussionist.
