Cracker

Not to be confused with the lower-case-initialled word, Cracker is a kick-ass police drama series from the UK starring Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid in the Potter movies) as a criminal psychologist in the employ of Her Majesty's Police. He is Scottish (of course) and grimly determined to have show-down after show-down with his wife over his additions to gambling, cigarettes and alcohol. Has a bit on the side with Sergeant Jane Penhaligon (whom he refers to as "Panhandle"), played by Geraldine Somerville (Lily Potter in the movies). He is deeply pessimistic and cynical and possessed of an ineluctable Celtic perception (sans tinsel and cliched stuff; think of the real Scotland) of the fundamental bleakness of the human condition. Sarcastic as hell. Unforgettable.
Oh, yes, the criminal cases are kind of interesting, too.
Did you catch Cracker on the tube the other night? Did you see the bit where Coltrane's smarmy colleague jumps off the roof?

crackwhore

A woman who's crack addiction is so bad that it is the only factor running her life and making decisions for her. She cannot hold a job -- not even as a stripper -- and is forced to do the ONLY thing she can do for money... sucking and fucking. And she is sickened when she thinks about where she has ended up and does it all over again to get her fix so she can forget for a few hours... and then again... and again... life is absolutely miserable between fixes and the only time she thinks clearly, rationally and for HERSELF is shortly after she starts smoking up.
I'd love to kill all the worthless pieces of shit who have ever been involved in the process of turning a girl into a crackwhore.
I fell in love with a crackwhore (before I really knew she was one).
Don't ever try to help a crackwhore... she can only help herself.

A female Texan who posts crazy stuff about how blacks loved slavery and how Lincoln started the Civil War before he was even inaugurated. She also likes to use made-up words that she finds on Urban Dictionary as real words!!
Crackeress likes to say, "Oh you embicle moran retardo, you are such a rediculos epidologist if you think that the Civil War was about slavery -- it was about tariffs!! The South didn't start the war -- the mean Union troops were firing bricks from their fort at the nice, genteel cannonballs of the Southern gentry. It was so brutal!! Lincoln renig on a promise to let the South expand slavery."
