I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6

To be judged by 12 is to go to court and to be judged by a 12 man jury, which all court trials have.

To be carried by 6 is to be dead. It is common for 6 people to carry a coffin (3 on each side) to and from the hearse.

In total the phrase "I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6" means that the person would rather kill someone and go to prison than to, themself, be killed and have to be buried.

Cedric Diggory

A gorgeous Hufflepuff from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. As stated by A Very Potter Musical, he is a particularly good finder.
1. Cedric Diggory is much hotter than Edward Cullen because he is a wizard and not a sparkly vampire.
2. According to Harry in "A Very Potter Musical", Cedric Diggory is 'that spare guy that no one likes' which is absolutely not true.

Kill the Carrier

"Kill the Carrier" is a childhood game of tag involving an object that is held by the "it" kid until he is tackled and forced to give it up.
Rules of play: The kid who has the ball (or stick, or balled up shirt, or whatever object is used) is "it" and therefore the "carrier". The rest of the kids chase the "it" kid down until they are tackled (usually in a dog pile fashion). They then toss the object away where the other kids gather around it and wait to see who has the guts to pick it up and start running. The game is usually played within an agreed to bounds, usually one persons yard. This prevents the game from becoming a foot race. There are no scores and no one "wins". It is a childhood game of bravado designed to blow off energy.
The old lady next door used to come outside and yell at us for playing kill the carrier in her yard.

This is the same game as smear the queer

NO CARRIER

The error message given by a modem when the telephone line carrier signal is lost. In the days of BBSs this was a frequent occurrence, often at the very moment someone was typing a sentence. Loss of signal would cause a string of garbage characters to be displayed to the recipient.
In later years this gave rise to an unending joke, depicting someone getting forcefully interrupted or otherwise cut off the internet, out of spite, in the middle of a particularly boring thought, irritating tirade, or some Famous Last Words.
