We have also held that the requirement that a statute be definite has been complied with when the language `has a generally accepted meaning such that a person of ordinary intelligence would be given fair notice of what conduct is forbidden', or when `the crucial words [or] phrases in the criminal statute have a fixed and definite meaning for a person of ordinary intelligence.' ..."
