Talk about dumb, this one was pointed at the SVN newscopter in Miami and caught on tape. Kid arrested and put in the pokey!

Side note: While checking the spelling/definition of "pokey" on dictionary.com, one of the related words presented was "jerkwater".....but it offered no definition. Not sure what "jerkwater" is, but I like the word. How would you use that in a sentence?? B)

"Third degree felony for pointing it in a motor vehicle or an aircraft"

 

ouch.. serious but necessary.

 

i think "jerkwater" has something to do with old train stations.. or towns around them..

Jerkwater- small and remote and insignificant; contemptibly trivial.

 

Use in a Sentence- Some may say that Pittsburgh is a jerkwater, but since the Steelers have six super bowl trophies, I beg to differ. :)

 

I think these are right, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, you got it. But it's an adjective and a synonym for poky, as in the Poky Little Puppy, not pokey, as in this laser light show enthusiast's new home.

 

Edit: So, to summarize... Pittsburgh is a poky, jerkwater town and Big Ben would be in the pokey if he wasn't a millionaire.
