rowdy-sheeter
n.— «In a span of two months, more than eight rowdy-sheeters have been axed to death by their rivals. But the police just booked cases and left them without any follow-up action. The failure of police to check the movements of the rowdy-sheeters and persons with criminal records is said to be leading to such ghastly attacks.» —“Ghunda Raj in Hyderabad” by Rauf A. Adil Usenet: soc.culture.indian May 4, 1997. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
