What does “felon” mean?
felon
Oh, this one's important to know!
A felon is a person who has committed a very serious crime — like robbery, violence, or something big that the law punishes harshly.
In everyday use, if someone says "he's a felon," they mean that person was found guilty of a serious crime and probably went to prison for it. Like, "She can't vote because she's a felon" or "He lost his job when they found out he was a felon." It's not used for small things like a parking ticket — those are way too minor. A felon did something the law considers really, really bad.
Sometimes people use it casually to sound dramatic, like "you ate my last slice of pizza, you little felon!" — but that's just joking around.
So basically, a felon = someone who did a serious crime.
