Definitions of ‘W’ Words

A politician who is up for reelection. Also a woman or man who offers one or more apertures in exchange for cash, goods, drugs or votes or vote-rigging towards his or her reelection, or more insidiously, towards his or her election.

Much like a weapon of mass destruction (WMD), a WSD is a weapon of a decidedly lesser caliber that has been determined to be dangerous and illegal by the New Terran Governing Council. These weapons are only possessed by insurgent threats against the placidity of New Terran status quo stability, and includes guns, knives, shivs, poison, piano wire, sharpened sticks, construction equipment, hammers, rocks of assorted sizes, shapes and weights, and anything over the weight of two-pounds or possessing what may be construed as a semi-sharp edge.

Enforcement and identification of such items as weapons of terror in contrast to necessary, legitimate use is entirely discretionary, but citizens of New Terra and territories overseen by its authority all agree that it is never abused and perfectly reasonable. This was proven in a planet-wide vote of all citizens (except for those interned or previously convicted, of course. Those are not citizens and their opinions on such matters can not be taken into account.)

The identification and recognition of Weapons of Singular Destruction has facilitated the arrest of countless detractors of peace, though none of them have ever been brought to trial. Most of them are instead tortured to death in order to gain the knowledge of their terror affiliates, and that unfortunately has to serve as punishment enough.

n. A wolf that was once, or is sometimes, a man. All werewolves are of evil disposition, having assumed a bestial form to gratify a beastial appetite, but some, transformed by sorcery, are as humane and is consistent with an acquired taste for human flesh.

Some Bavarian peasants having caught a wolf one evening, tied it to a post by the tail and went to bed. The next morning nothing was there! Greatly perplexed, they consulted the local priest, who told them that their captive was undoubtedly a werewolf and had resumed its human for during the night. “The next time that you take a wolf,” the good man said, “see that you chain it by the leg, and in the morning you will find a Lutheran.”
