So, in the workroom in the wing I work in, there's a picture of me on the wall, with a little devil moustache and beard drawn on and the word BUSTED! No explanation at all. I admit, it made me wonder.
The 'busted' implies wrongdoing, and that I had been caught in the act, but wouldn't I know if I had? It loses impact if the busted person was unaware of being busted or of what they were being busted for. I feel more a mild confusion than chagrin.
If it's still up tomorrow, I'm gonna make a little tophat and monocle for it.
