The noise emerging from an elementary school playground when children are let out.
Our apartment was overlooking a schoolyard. Several times a day, the kinderclatter burst through the window.
Another name for George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watchman who, on Feb. 26, 2012, shot Treyvon Martin in Sanford Florida. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in this case on July 13, 2013; however, he had continual run-ins with the police and was arrested on November 18 on gun-related charges.
When Zimmerman was released, graffiti went up in Sanford that said, "You can't flim-flam the Zim Zam.

An alternate term for Mother Tongue, but without the maternal associations. Your cradle language is your first language, the one you learn as an infant. You might learn it from your parents or from a nanny or from wolves.
Jill is multilingual, but French is her cradle language.
