Hello:

What would "cop out" in the first para mean? It can have many meanings
(confess to the police, etc).

"Make with the Prayer Call,"
is that to have sex with someone, but who would that be (who/what's
Prayer Call?)? Or is it to produce/issue the Call to Prayer?

Clem and Jody, two oldtime vaudeville hoofers, cope out as Russian
agents whose sole function is to represent the U.S. in an unpopular
light. When arrested for sodomy in Indonesia, Clem said to the examining
magistrate:

"'Tain't as if it was being queer. After all they's only Gooks."

[...]

They are always pacing round Bidonvilles smoking huge cigars:

"Haveta get some bulldozers in here Jody. Clean out all this crap."

Morbid crowds follow them about hoping to witness some superlative
American outrage.

Hello:

I think I understand the origin for most of these monikers, except for
"Grassy Gert".

Would that be a mistress abandonned/neglected by her underground sex
partners, and thus inclined to talk to the police?

Hassan met a decent cop every time he took a fall. His dossier contains
three pages of monikers indicating his proclivity for cooperating with
the law, "playing ball" the cops call it. Others call it something else:
Ab the Fuzz Lover, Finky Marv, The Crooning Hebe, Ali the Stool, Wrongo
Sal, The Wailing Spic, The Sheeny Soprano, The Bronx Opera House, The
Copper's Djinn, The Answering Service, The Squeaking Syrian, The Cooing
**cksucker, The Musical Fruit, The Wrong Ass Hole, The Fairy Fink, Leary
the Nark, The Lilting Leprechaun... Grassy Gert.

Naked Lunch, by W.S. Burroughs, p. 132

Hello:

In
"With it and for it"
would "it" be the school itself or some principle, etc?

----
This creation tops a limestone pyramid on which is inscribed in letters
of porcelain mosaic—pink and blue and gold— the school motto: "With it
and for it."

Naked lunch, by William S. Burroughs- Page 129

From an piece in the Sydney Morning Herald headed "Why governments
bail out banks":

"According to the ideal, the way the capitalist system should work is
that it's good luck to them when the capitalists make huge profits,
but when they make losses and go out backwards, it's tough luck. They
get neither envy nor sympathy."

The phrase "go out backwards" used in that way mainly an antipodean
thing? A quick Google seemed to throw up a lot of .au sources for the
metaphorical use of the phrase.

I've just started Morley's work on Cromwell, and he uses the word
"clenchers" that I couldn't find in Webster's online or
thefreedictionary online. Here's the context:

"to insist upon long series of unqualified clenchers in history and
biography only ends up in confusing questions that are separate..."
He seems to be saying that giving broadbrush judgments in Cromwell's
case might be misleading (this comes after reviewing previous
biographers' judgments of O.C.).

I have to say I don't recall ever coming across this word. Have I
understood it correctly?

Dear All:

I was wondering whether restrictive/identifying/defining clause and
non-restrictive/non-identifying/non-defining clause affect the number
of the noun it modifies.

e.g.
1) My sister who is a nurse is good at playing the piano.
2) My sister, who is a nurse, is good at playing the piano.

Many English grammar books written in Chinese would say that in [1],
the speaker has many sisters, and that in [2], the speaker has only
one sister.

So those Chinese-written English grammar say that you have to write
My father, who is now on a business trip, will come back soon.
You cannot write
My father who is now on a business trip will come back soon.

However, I cannot find such claim in

Is it really so?

'Islam will dominate the world,' Palestinian
Mickey Mouse says on TV show

"We are setting with you the cornerstone for
world leadership under Islamic leadership. Isn't
it so, Saraa'?" Farfur [Mickey Mouse] asked,
turning to a young girl....

Diane Disney says Palestinian group is 'pure evil'
for using character to incite children to violence

Farfur [Mickey Mouse], alongside a child co-presenter,
taught Palestinian children that Islam will "dominate
the world," and sang songs about using automatic assault
rifles, teaching that war and deaths for Allah were
desirable goals.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3397982,00.html

"Farfur [Mickey Mouse] was martyred while defending
his land," said Sara, the teen presenter. He was killed
"by the killers of children," she added.

"Farfur"...was killed by...an Israeli official trying
to buy Farfur's land.
