I referred to the police as Five-O the other day and was tutted at by a youth, “Feds?” I offered, more tutting. I was informed that the current nomenclature round these parts is Po-Po.

:facepalm: These are doubtless the same youth who have a number of ‘sleeps’ until their ‘holibobs’. No so much evolving as dumbing down.

Old man rant over. :D

In German po-po is equivalent to the babyish expression botty.

Ha ha, obviously I disagree about slang as an evolution of (a part) of language being a dumbing down as such and, slang aside, they were perfectly erudite and reasonably intelligent young gentlemen. I suspect they might cut your throat for an ‘enry. Equally, as a old man who enjoys a good rant, why not.

OK, for something completely different, Bing Crosby, Frank SInatra, Louis Armstrong - Got to be High Society. "Well you take some bass...now you're getting some place"

First heard the expression 'Po-Po' in The Wire and the last season of that was 11 years ago. No, the police-y epithet du jour here in South Central Wiltshire is 'Some Pilchards', as in:

'Gim muh wrap a facefizz*'

'Ess U some pilchards?'

'Nah sai if wuz. Hur hur hur'.

'Hur hur hur'

The Wire -- A great HBO series. Coincidentally, Mrs 4000 is currently watching it for the first time, on the upstairs TV. 👍

You're all wrong though. It is (and will always be) the fuzz (from the 1970s).

"Hey honey, you ever been picked up by the fuzz?"

"No baby, but I have been swung by the t*ts!"

Or, if they're in a car, 'rollers' is allowed (from The Blues Brothers).
