Slangwatch Episode 2
Today's slang term of the day is "latronic". I can barely find a single internet reference to this; it's even absent from Urban Dictionary. My idiom-sources suggest it is 90s Hawaiian slang for "laters":

"These superfiends are creeping me out. I'm gonna take a trip to Exitville. Latronic!"

I got a poor to middling response to last week's Slangwatch. Submissions are needed to maintain the current high standard. A little etymology would help too, because today's episode was a research nightmare.
