Slang terms for "informant" - 09/10/15 08:34 PM
Have been thinking: how many different terms are there to indicate an informant?
Rat
Stool pigeon
Snitch
Squealer
Turncoat
Grass or supergrass (British terms, as far as I know)
Any others? In Russian the term "stukach" literally translated would be "knocker".

I once heard Johnny Carson say the the one word in the english language that had the most slang terms was "drunk".
Ponder that......
Shit faced
Three sheets to the wind
Oiled to the gills
Loaded
Stewed
PLastered.....

"He's talking" usually implies talking to the Feds.

And most recently of all, a "Roman Toga Party" was held from which we have received more than two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.
I may be young(29) but Animal House is top 5 for me.
