Narc

Squealer, tattle-tale, snitch, blabbermouth, weasel, narc; you've earned a lot of cynical nicknames over the years. You might not have had a lot of friends as a kid, but you sure knew a lot. Though your popularity was questionable at best, you knew where to get information and who to tell to get ahead. Telling playground secrets might be a thing of the past for you but you now will always have the reputation of being a big-mouth. This may or may not help you acquire jobs as a spy or informant.
