"Offensive" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL, ENGLISH
In the law relating to nuisances and similar matters, this term means noxious, causing annoyance, discomfort, or painful or disagreeable sensations. See Rowland v. Miller (Super. N. Y.) 15 N. Y. Supp. 701; Moller v. Presbyterian Hospital, 65 App. Div. 134, 72 N. ¥. Supp. 483; Barrow v. Richard, 8 Paige (N. Y.) 360, 35 Am. Dec. 713. As occasionally used in crim-inal law and statutes, an “offensive weapon” is primarily oue meant and adapted for at-tack and the infliction of injury, but prac-tically the term includes anything that would come within the description of a “deadly" or “dangerous” weapon. See State v. Dineen, 10 Minn. 411 (Gil. 325); Rex v. Grice, 7 Car. & P. 803; Rex v. Noakes, 5 Car. & P. 326. In international law, an “of-fensive and defensive league" is one bind-ing the contracting powers not only to aid each other in case of aggression upon ei-ther of them by a third power, but also to support and aid each other ln active and ag-gressive measures against a power with which either of them may engage in war

WORD SUGGESTIONS
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
