conductor
Conductor: A member of a secret society committed to oppose the spread of aquatic foul in parks and other public places. They were implicated in a spate of mysterious duck drownings during the summer of '84. It later emerged that bread weighted with lead shot had been fed to the victims. During the investigation several children and their nannies were arrested by police officers disguised as shrubbery in Hyde Park. No charges were ever brought, and the whole affair was blamed on fishing weights - leading some prominent anglers to believe that Conductors occupy very high places.
