Bingering the witness 

An inane line of questioning used in court proceeding with the intent of irritating the witness into reacting in an inappropriate way.
Objection your honor, bingering the witness.

Fair Witness 

Fair Witness is a fictional profession invented by Robert Heinlein. (Stranger in a Strange Land)

A Fair Witness is an individual trained to observe events and report exactly what he or she sees and hears, making no extrapolations or assumptions. An eidetic memory is a prerequisite for the job, although this may be attainable with suitable training.

In Heinlein's society, a Fair Witness is a highly reputable source of information. By custom, a Fair Witness acting professionally, generally wearing distinctive white robes, is never addressed directly, and is never acknowledged by anyone present.

While Fair Witnesses may hold jobs, at all times they must honor the traditions of the Fair Witness and do their best to avoid any possibility of bias when wearing the robes and repeating the truth of what they have seen, done or heard.

Fair Witnesses are prohibited from drawing conclusions about what they observe. As a demonstration, in the novel a Fair Witness was asked to describe the color of a house in the distance. She responds, "It's white on this side"; whereupon Heinlein explains that she would not assume knowledge of the color of the other sides of the house without being able to see them. Furthermore, after observing another side of the house she would not then assume that any previously seen side was still the same color as last reported, even if only minutes before.
You can trust what he says. He's the closest thing to a "fair witness" of anybody I've ever known.

Thom Yorke's Witness 

An over-obsessed Radiohead fan who, in attempt to enlighten others, goes door to door carrying a copy of OK Computer on vinyl and spreads the good word of the great Thom Yorke. The Thom Yorke's witness tends to lack the ability to understand those who do not enjoy Radiohead, so do not offend them.
Who was that at the door?

Oh that was just a Thom Yorke's witness. I told him I don't like Radiohead so he went and jumped in front of a truck.
