the Unforgivables

a term of respect, awe and fear term referring, collectively, to the legislative, judicial, and executive orders of one's society.

Thus named because, usually, in The United States a person's criminal record remains known to the Unforgiveables either for a very long period of time or for life.

(NB: Not to be confused with The Unforgivable Curses mentioned in the Harry Potter series, the u of Unforgiveables must always be a capital U):
son: can I grow weed in our backyard. i heard in school it' hip and cool today?

father: you can do whatever the hell you please. But remember you write your life in indelible ink. do not get on the wrong side of the Unforgivables, because your criminal record will most likely follow you to the grave.
