So, if Fred uses "abrogado," does that also mean "lawyer" is used?

(I already used cop, but I just can't help posting this one. :D)

It was about the same time that I noticed the cord hanging out of the pickle,
that a four foot cop arrived with a five foot gun,
a cop that at one time must have been around six foot three,
but was met at the bottom of a mountain by a flyin', singing, writtin', wierdo freak.

If we go into foreign languages this game will really take forever, so yes, "lawyer" is taken.

Were you going to do "Oh, My Darling"? (I was going to use that, at some point, but then I realized I needed to do a librarian song before anyone else did.)

To prevent this round from going forever, I think I should employ a restriction a la What's My Line? and say an occupation means they are salaried or self-employed. This restriction will start tomorrow, so if you've been holding onto one that doesn't fit the new guidelines, play it now.
