Glimmerce

A fleeting glimpse of light or sparkle, often seen in the corner of one's eye, that creates a momentary illusion of something magical or mysterious.

"As she walked through the forest at dusk, she caught a glimmerce through the trees, making her pause and wonder what it could be."

Glimmer Man

A glimmer man (sometimes rendered as "glimmerman") was a name unofficially, but universally, applied to inspectors who were employed by coal gas manufacturers in Ireland to detect the use of gas in breach of rationing restrictioons during the Emergency (ie. WW2) from March 1942 and in some places as late as 1947.

The term is now used as a metaphor for bureaucratic intrusion into privacy.

"Rattled by the glimmer man, the boogie man, the holy man" - lyric from "Faithful Departed" by Phil Chevron.

"Gas could be used only on certain hours of the day and hence the arrival of the Glimmer man."

glimmerous fop

Prosecuters who would rather play guitar, and perhaps should. They keep their hairs in drilled tips to pierce the Heavens or to just make themselves feel pretty. They are fun to throw snackoos at, so do so if you see one. They also like to seduce opposing lawyers after court.

"Always thinking he's a prince in the investigation... What a glimmerous fop! MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!"
