Senator Caleb H. Baumes sponsored a New York law (the Baumes Law) which called for automatic life imprisonment of any criminal convicted more than three times.

Persons with this fetish are sexually aroused by having sex with a convicted criminal.
Originally denoted the act of sexual intercourse but over the years has become associated with vulgarity. Note: We had a query asking if "fuck" was an acronym for "Fornication under Consent of the King" on the basis of the old "first fruits" stories (ed: anyone remember the real term for that??). The idea being this ancient anglo-saxon word originated in 'ancient England' when permission had to be granted for couples to conceive a child? The questioner read that a placard had to be hung on the door of the wedded pair formally acknowledging that permission had been sought and granted from the reigning monarch....! Another suggestion has been that this word came from the term "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". People who practised carnal knowledge were caught out on convict ships where the practise was illegal. Both sound plausible - but unfortunately incorrect. According to Partridge (always the author of choice) the word actually has traceable roots in ancient Egyptian, with borrowings from a pre Anglo-Saxon, and possible pre Celtic language. But in any case, the word has been in general use for such a long time, it's true origins are now well shielded by the mists of time.

n child-molester. The term may originate from when sex offenders were admitted as “non-specified offenders” (thereby “non-specified” and thence “nonce”) in the hope that they might not get the harsh treatment metered out to such convicts. It may also stand for “Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise” (meaning prisoners intended to keep separate from the rest). Either way, it featured prominently in the fine “Brasseye” spoof TV news programme where popular celebrities were duped into wearing T-shirts advocating “nonce-sense.”
 The broad arrows on a convict's prison uniform.
Highly controversial category of statutes enacted by state governments which require the state courts to hand down a mandatory and extended period of incarceration to persons who have been convicted of a serious criminal offense on three or more separate occasions. These statutes became very popular in the 1990s. "Louie got caught last night w/ some weed so you know he 3 strikes & out."Â

(ed: contribution included verbatim): Pyrford first/middle school through the 80's (a wonderful time to be alive), The schucks-woman was a crazy lady who used to walk her dog round the playing field. She was (among others) an escaped convict, an undercover policeman looking for bad kids, a dog kidnapper, an ex-teacher come to wreak revenge etc. If she so much as glanced in your direction you were pretty much done for. Actually, if she's reading this now I'd just like to say "Sorry. Us kids can be utter bastards when we try..." .
