Nab/Release
Nab: verb - catch and take someone into custody; apprehend, arrest; snatch
or seize something; steal.
Release: verb - liberate; free from physical
restraint or imprisonment; let go of.
'Noreen left her place in
the check-out queue to step outside and nab the man she'd watched steal a can
of Coke from the supermarket shelves.'
'Keep an eye out for the
barman, whilst I nab some beer from the pump.'
'When the allies marched
into the town, they were able to release the prisoners of war who'd been held
in camps for so long.'
'I want you to release
that cash into my custody, where I'll make damned good use of it.'
1621 - the English
parliament unanimously accepted Protestation, and the roots for conflict were formally
planted. In parts of the UK that conflict remains and provides certain ill-informed
fools with a motive for indiscriminate killing.
1960 - A General Meeting
of the UN condemned apartheid. In backward parts of the world, such prejudice
remains, allowing the ignorant and afraid to blame all misfortune on those who
fail to appear to be like them.
