Someone might have replied to someone (Colin's?) question
about whether the term "grass" (to fink, rat) is used in the
U.S. I've never heard it used here in speech, though maybe it
has some regional life (and I'm not hanging around the prison
yard too much). The first time I encountered the word was in
the summer of 1985 when it appeared in a short story written
by a student with a British passport. Anybody else know?
