    IT'S the five-letter word our state's police should get used to being called. A university student was yesterday cleared of an offensive language charge after a local court magistrate ruled the word "prick" was part of the every-day vernacular. Waverley Local Court magistrate Robbie Williams made his comments during a hearing for science student Henry Grech, 22, who was charged following a heated argument with Senior Constable Adam Royds at Bondi Junction train station last year. Mr Williams said he wasn't satisfied that a "reasonable person'' would be offended by the word prick in general conversation.
