A striped racer, also known as the California whipsnake, is a species of non-venomous snake native to the coast and foothills of California. It is a long, slender, and fast-moving snake, identified by its distinctive stripes running down the length of its body. They primarily feed on lizards and small rodents. The scientific name for this species is Masticophis lateralis.
Cad and bounder
-
This phrase is worth noting precisely because it does not belong in this dictionary: it makes sense in a moral universe that has utterly vanished. The last cad and [bounder] died, perhaps, about 1947 (see London Daily Telegraph [obituaries] for further evidence).
Although they are appropriately linked, the precise meanings differ. A cad is one who does harm to a womans honor or sense of self-worth as, for example, by taking her for a garden walk when he has no intention of marrying her. A bounder is a presumptious [upstart], seemingly ignorant of, but perhaps merely indifferent to, fundamental norms of propriety.
