Kewl= Lacking real knowledge and saying they did things that they didn’t. Following crappy text files and often using “Bombz” to destroy letterboxes. There English is often poor and they may write in all capital letters. Kewls are more likely to be harmed with explosives then anyone else.
Mesh=How fine a powder is. The higher the number the finer. The higher mesh size the smaller the particle.
Salute=Explodeing firecracker designed to make noise.
Crapbook/textfile= A document
