Forensicated

[wigparty]

As used twice in The Bill last week. Is this really a word.

"I want the evidence forensicated, the villain arrestified and the area cordonedofficated"

Sounds like a Bush-ism!

noooooooooooooooooooo

cordonofficated
Also, doesn't 'forensic' mean to be used in court? People use it instead of 'very detailed' which i don't think is right

"Let's do dendrochronology on it"

I thought not! I love that show. I also love that every now and then they roll out a new electronic whiteboard gadget and insist on putting it into every possible scene to show it off.

Nothing is as sexy as the clear perspex boards and chinagraph pens they use on "Waking The Dead". I want some for my classes.

have interviewed dendrochronologists - in Belfast and Sheffield iirc

I just had to go and find out what a dendrochronologist does!

I was quoting Bonekickers

oh god

switched bonekickers off after literally seconds

It may not be a real word, but it is what a real Sun Hill copper would say, innit?

My old flat in SW4 featured in an episode of The Bill once. (It was a prostitute's flat in the programme.) [absurdly proud emoticon]

mike leigh's latest film was filmed at the bottom of our rd...

we used to wave to them on the way to school, last summer. sigh. those were the days..

That is way more impressive than my former flat featuring on The Bill.

sorry ellbell

one of my old flatmates was sound recordist on The Bill

they apparently had fabbo caterers

Ah Bonekickers. Luckily I was warned not to even give that a go. Is it as bad as everyone has said?

worse

The greater problem is the constant misuse of "forensics", as in media reports of "forensics experts combed the scene". Well, yes. All police should be forensics experts, since forensic means of or pertaining to the law. As opposed to forensic science, which is science used in the investigation of crime, and which is what the experts they refer to are using.

Is it a kind of backforming?...
