What are some slang terms used among police officers?
The most derogatory terms for the bad guys and citizens who are just pains in the rectum:A.H. = Adam Henry (A-dam H-enry) If you don’t get it…..sometimes you will hear it as “Jack Hole”…..now what starts with an “A” that ends with HOLE ?RICHARD CRANIUM= What starts with a “D” and is a nickname for Richard ? What is the non-medical layman’s term for the Cranium ? Do these clues HEAD you in the right direction ?
Can you teach me something I don't already know?
I just learned this recently. It's called " The zip lock omelet " All you have to do is put two eggs and what ever else you like, ham, cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms, or whatever. Use the blue zip lock baggies. I don't know the name of them, but they are the thickest ones. Shake everything up in the baggie, and put it into a pot of rapidly boiling water for exactly 13 minutes, and you will have a perfect omelet !
What's the right age for a kid to get his or her first pocket knife?
That depends on the child and the situation. On the average, approximately age 8 probably makes sense. However, in any case these things should be considered when getting a child his/her own knife:Make sure it is a knife specially made for children. That means: A blade, that is not too long, and a rounded tip, so as to make stab-wounds nearly impossible. This knife is nice, because it also features a saw. Do not be fooled by the rounded tip of the blade, though: This knife is still insanely sharp! When buying a Swiss Army knife, I recommend Victorinox, and not Wenger. Victorinox makes the better knifes, in my opinion.Instruct your child at length in the proper, and safe use of a knife. This means: Always cut/carve AWAY from the body, never TOWARDS the body. When using a folding knife, be aware that putting pressure on the tip can cause the knife to fold, which can make for very nasty injuries (I know what I´m talking about lol). Don´t leave the knife laying around open, where you may fall onto it or accidentally cut yourself, because you did not expect it there (a non-folding knife must be put back in the sheath after use). Never walk with the knife open, as you may fall onto it standing up, and stab yourself. And so on, and so forth.Repeat those instructions over, and over, and over again!You may start by allowing your child to only use the knife in your presence, and under your constant supervision at first.The swiss army knife, as well as a number of other children´s knifes does/do not feature a guard. So if you give your child one of those, instruct him/her to avoid sliding with his/her hand onto the blade.Children most typically will like to carve. In order for this to remain fun, the blade must be kept very sharp. This tool is safe and easy to use, and you might consider giving one to your child (or having one in your household, because it is really useful - you can even sharpen an axe with it):Of course, some parents try to keep their children away from whatsoever dangers for as long as possible. But I find that approach WRONG. It is much better to check if you can "burden" your child with a certain responsibility at a particular age, but if that is the case to then go ahead, provide for high-quality instructions and informations in the safe way how to deal with that risk, but then to TRUST in your child that he or she can handle this responsibility.Concluding, here a nice video about knife safety:
