Get the Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. mug.A pair of individuals who team up to fight bad guys; and, who (at least in the comic books) always come out victorious because they are on the side of "GOOD".
Usually both members of the team have a day job and an alter-ego or secret identity. (Because of the masked face connection) It is believed that several Luchadores (Mexican wrestlers) may moonlight as crime-fighters.
Sometimes they have cool gadgets or bigger guns or even a variety of superpowers. Airborne CRIME FIGHTING DUOs often wear designer capes which somehow make them lighter than air.
One question remains, however, when the team is two guys or two chicks. Are they QUEER? Do they sleep/shower together behind closed doors? By God, I hope not. Can we just change the subject? This is kinda creepin' me out.

EXAMPLES:
The CRIME-FIGHTING DUO Batman and Robin were really the millionaire Bruce Wayne and his little buddy, Dick Grayson. They have matching utility belts. Huhh?
That internet CRIME-FIGHTING DUO Rodriguez and Gladys had the right idea. Why go poor fighting crime? Only bust the criminals who won't pony up some Benjamins.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, and Joe Friday with his partner Bill Gannon were classic CRIME-FIGHTING DUOs of past decades.

1. your committing word crimes
2. It's a good time
To learn some grammar
Now did I stammer
Work on that grammar
You should know when
It's less or it's fewer
Like people who were
Never raised in a sewer
I hate these word crimes
Like I could care less
That means you do care
At least a little
Don't be a moron
You'd better slow down
And use the right pronoun
Show the world you're no clown

Get the Word Crimes mug.A family in which almost every member is guilty of one crime or another, and most or all were caught. A family of incompetent criminals, sad to the point of funniness.
My girlfriend is part of an unorganized crime family. Her dad's had a half dozen DUI's, her uncle is in jail for robbery, her aunt got caught with drugs, her sister got caught shoplifting, her cousin tried to steal a car, and her other cousin tries to write bad checks.

Get the Crimge mug.(verb) when a woman slowly "moves into" her boyfriends place while denying doing so. A form of domestic annexation. Crimea-ing is usually started by a woman marking her territory by cleaning or leaving rather innocuous items behind (eg. a toothbrush, toiletries, pajamas, a change of clothes, feminine products, etc).
Sally told Tim it was just easier to have a toothbrush at his place, but it was all part of her plan to Crimea his place.
