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?

Cracker is a game played between 2 or more people with dicks. A cracker is placed before each crank and on the count of 3 the participants race to ejaculate on their cracker. The last one to complete the orgasmic release must eat everyone else's spooge covered saltine.
Dude! You lost! Eat that jizz covered, crispy bread! You suck at Cracker! Maybe you should take up sucking dick!

American slang for a Southern white man, used as a slur to suggest white trashiness, an uneducated, low-class or poor man. Derived from those who would distill moonshine liquor from fermentation of dried, cracked corn.
"You know, they think that because of who I am and where my political base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there." - President Bill Clinton, 2008. on Larry King Live (CNN).
