Cold and pissy
Is there a technical definition of 'terroristic', or is it confined to various personal interpretations of 'you know, like unto a terrorist?'
I ask only because I am old school, I guess, and what i think of when I think of 'terrorist' is not the same thing I think of when I think of 'domestic assault' or 'being a dick'.
