* TerminologyTitle: Several.
** "MIA/NYC Nonstop": Airline term for a direct flight from Miami to New York City. This is the BackDoorPilot for ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' in which Horatio Caine enlists the help of Mac Taylor to apprehend a killer operating in both their cities.
** "Pro Per": Legal shorthand for the Latin phrase, "in propria persona," used to describe a defendant representing himself at trial. A former inmate who spent his incarceration studying law does just this after being arrested for another crime.
** "10-7": Police code for being "out of service" or otherwise unavailable. One undercover officer surfaces, only to disappear again, and two others leave the team.
** "Double Jeopardy": Legal term meaning that once someone has been tried and found innocent, they cannot be retried for the same offense. After a man whose wife has been missing for years is acquitted of her murder, her body turns up and evidence now points to his guilt. What's the team to do?
** "Collateral Damage": Originally a military term, but it's use has expanded into other fields; meaning unintentional injury, death, etc. to individuals or property not specifically involved in a conflict. A hand grenade is used in a crowded restaurant, killing and maiming more than its user's target.
** "F-T-F": Internet-speak for a face-to-face meeting between people who, up until then, have never met in person. An underage girl sets up such a meeting with a person she believes to be a boy her age, but who is actually a grown man.
** "Mayday": Internationally recognized radio distress call. Horatio and Frank are returning an escaped prisoner back to Miami but discover mid-light that their plane has been hijacked.
** "Friendly Fire": Term for being fired upon by someone on your own side. An inventor is killed by one of his own creations.
** "Terminal Velocity": The maximum speed reached by a falling object. A skydiver dies after his parachute lines snap mid-air.

They originally had three, the other being a man, but they fired him after their son told the man that he loved him. They were afraid the guy was grooming the boy to try and entice him into a physical relationship. Turns out the kid was just grateful to have someone to hang with and do "guy stuff" together, and thought of the man as a big brother.
