apostrophe crime
What you say when you see one of the most heinous crimes against the english language known to man. It's when an apostrophe is put in a plural noun (WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG!), therefore indicating that the noun somehow owns something...

my smart friend: SHEILD YOUR EYES! APOSTROPHE CRIME!
