cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex 

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

She is a girl. Smart to. She's different when you get to know her. She's funny, crazy, and weird, but is someone you would want to have around you at all time. She tries to make new friends, and you can trust her with anything. Close friends or just friends. You let her go then one day your going to regret it because you have no idea what could come your way. (We used to be so close she was the best but we let something get in our way don't let that happen to you to)

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
