    Bierce's definition for Litigation is a riot! I can't wait to see your twist if you ever get around to posting that one.

    Gabriel, great definition. Unnecessary justice is just a great turn of phrase.

    Manjusha, I hate disappoint, but that's it.

    Update after finger in custard incident: person who retains another's bones in hopes of skinning him too.

    I'm still upset over yesterday when Ambrose threw a rock to kill a dog. That's litigable from my view!

    Frankly, I think that in this case Ambrose can't be beaten. (But maybe he should be for throwing that rock. I dunno.)

    Not to be confused with the urban slang for what's going on / happening / up.

    "Yo! Sup Doug, what's litigaten'?"

    Gnat, that is fantastic.

    Icy, it wasn't Bierce it was a doctor. Bite a doctor. You'll feel better.

    Tan Lucy, I agree and Manjusha's right. Litigation's a great one. Stay tuned.

    Sar, you are correct. I don't think that's a reference to Bierce. Maybe Twain.

    Sreekesh, just please don't show up in your pajamas and a captain's coat.

    Karma, he probably read your post today. Made us all hopeful.

    My feeble attempt, and I know it's somewhat limited:

    One of a pair of gamblers with the dice of misfortune and ambition. As in all gambling, the house always wins.
