grass

[ɡɹ̠äːs]

In its primary sense, the word evokes images of nature, openness, and tranquility. It is often associated with domesticity (lawns) or wild expanses (prairies). While usually neutral, it can carry positive connotations of freshness, growth, and vitality. In British slang, the term shifts dramatically to a negative context. Here, it carries a feeling of betrayal and cowardice. To "grass" someone is not merely to report a crime, but to do so in a way that violates a social code of silence or loyalty.
