Happy-slappy hoodies with ASBOs and ringtones ... (quote: Dr. Who)

We've heard talk about ASBO's here. I assumed an ASBO was a cheap grocery store full of store-brand soda and inexpensive pasta sauce, while Josh thought it was a derogatory comment, as in"Stop that, you ASBO."

We've since discovered that it's actually a criminal offense, an Anti-Social Behavioural Order, covering anything from noisy neighbors to intimidation to vandalism, and the term comes up surprisingly often. Also, Wikipedia tells us that a CRASBO is a Criminally Related ASBO. I'm looking forward to the first time I hear that in normal conversation.

We found this new-found knowledge even more puzzling. Anti-social behavior. Makes us think of a bunch of teenagers sitting in their bedrooms playing video games. Yells Mom up the stairs: "Honey, don't you want to go out and play with your friends? Stop being so anti-social!" I don't think we quite have the right idea...
