A discussion came up at pizza last week. Would you expect X-dar to mean "telling you which direction X is in", "telling you whether something is X or not" or "either, depending what X is"?

Come to think of it, "is there" and "where" are basically the same thing for actual radar; it's only in portmanteaux with a more specific meaning that there's a difference.
