In the law enforcement jargon, a suspect is a known person accused or suspected of committing a crime. Police and reporters in the United States often use the word suspect as a jargon when referring to the perpetrator of the offense (perp in dated US slang). However, in official definition, the perpetrator is the robber, assailant, counterfeiter, etc.âthe person who committed the crime.
Someone with confidence (i.e., not shy and with self-belief) is described as confident. Being confident also means to be assured or certain of something that is pending. Examples: The noun confidant denotes someone to whom private or personal matters are confided (i.e. someone trusted). My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything-even if you have no clue what you're doing. ( 2 Jessica Alba). 3  No matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy. ( 4 Paris Hilton). 5  And in rejecting an atheistic other world, I am confident that the Almighty God will be with us.
