New Words #10

Came across some more "new" words.

As with previous posts, these are not necessarily "brand new" words..... just new ones to me:  words that I've come across recently which I had never heard before.

organized retail crime:

groups of professional shoplifters, or “boosters,” who steal or fraudulently obtain merchandise that is then sold, or “fenced,” to individuals and retailers through a variety of venues

flash rob:

knocker-upper (thx Pastor Wayne for this one):

yobs:

scromiting:

How many of these were "new to you"?

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
