How to use collar in a sentence?

  1. Anne Richards:

    White collar crime is extremely difficult to prosecute, especially in finance, due to its complexity.

  2. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo:

    The crime they're committing is a white-collar crime, but the crimes they're facilitating are violent crimes that impact our communities across the country every day.

  3. Andel Kindell:

    The app said the signal was weak, that’s when I twigged it was underground. Then the vet told me Alex’s right paw wound was caused by a bite and the collar must be inside the rat.

  4. President Barack Obama:

    Blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck, there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear. Some of it justified, but just misdirected. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. That's what he's exploiting during the course of his campaign.

  5. John Green:

    While Trump might pick up blue collar Democrats, and older folks who are disillusioned with the political process, the flip side is he could lose more upper-status voters in Ohio, republican Party leaders in Ohio are wringing their hands. There is a perception that Trump helps among blue collar voters - but could alienate white collar voters.
