Crime

hi,there. please help me with this.

here is some T-shirts with slogan on it.

http://www.shopwiki.com/Bite+Out+Of+Crime+T-shirt

I can understand these:

"Local Celebrity Bite out of Crime "

"Take a bite out of crime"

"Bite Out Of Crime "

The National Crime Prevention Council's slogan.

I think they all means "encourage people to fight crime or stay away from it or try to avoid it before it happens".

but the second one :

" I took a bite out of crime and kinda wanted seconds. " there is no McGruff on it.

does this slogan has the same meaing with "Take a bite out of crime".

or It was coined by other people,and give it a different meaning? if it did ,then what is it?

thank you!

It's just a variation on the same theme. "I took a bite out of crime" shows that the person wearing it is supporting the crime prevention cause. The next part, "and kinda wanted seconds", is supposed to be humorous.

  • "seconds" means a second portion of some food -- one that you particularly like, or when you're particularly hungry.
  • "kinda wanted seconds" plays on the previous use of "bite" (as if it was meant literally) and implies that the person is enthusiastic about opposing crime and wants to do more of the same thing.
