Most are teenagers who will eventually discover other interests and cringe at their former shadow-casting days.
An enthusiast of herpetology who spends their free time seeking out, studying, or keeping reptiles and amphibians as a hobby.

Street slang for police officers, derived from the classic 1970s TV show "Hawaii Five-O" about an elite state police unit.

A conductor's colorful (if slightly unhinged) instruction to brass players to clear obstructions from their instruments causing muffled or squeaky sounds.

British slang for absolute nonsense or rubbish, delivered with the kind of verbal flourish that makes insults sound sophisticated. Perfect for when "that's BS" lacks the Victorian-era charm you're going for. Bonus points if you say it with a monocle.
