Define That Term #291

By Nicole Black, Esq.

Last week's term was rhadamanthine, which is defined as:

A term used to describe a hard-nosed judge, inflexible in the application of the law.

Aka, a hard ass, which, if you ask me, is a heck of a lot easier to say.

And, no one guessed this time around.

Today's term is:

in terrorem.

As always, no dictionaries, please.
