Applejacked: Having your Apple iPod stolen. Dude, on the train last night I totally got Applejacked!

bacon bit: A rent-a-cop; not good/important enough to be referred to as a pig or bacon. I thought we'd be in trouble when the 5-0 started rollin' up, but then I realized it was just the bacon bits--mall security.

cruiser spoon: To park two police cruisers with the drivers' sides adjacent so that the officers can converse through the open windows. Better slow down, the po-po are cruiser spooning in the parking lot ahead.
