1) v. to remove a statement from the record of the court proceedings by order of
the judge due to impropriety of a question, answer or comment to which there has
been an objection. Often after a judge has stricken some comment or testimony (an
answer made before an objection has stopped the witness), he/she admonishes (warns)
the jury not to consider the stricken language, but the jury has a hard time forgetting
since "a bell once rung cannot be unrung. " 2) v. to order that language in a pleading
(a complaint or an answer, for example) shall be removed or no longer be of any
effect, usually after a motion by the opposing party and argument, on the basis
that the language (which may be an entire cause of action) is not proper pleading,
does not state a cause of action (a valid claim under the law) or is not in proper
form. 3) n. the organized refusal of workers to remain on the job, usually accompanied
by demands for a union contract, higher wages, better conditions or other employee
desires, and possibly including a picket line to give voice to workers' demands
and discourage or intimidate other workers and customers from entering the business,
factory or store.
