Today’s Word of the Day is…
Popo

This is a slang term and much of the definition is derived from the Urban Dictionary. It originated in the late 80’s on the west coast.

po•po [poh-poh] –noun
Police Officer, particularly those traveling by bicycle

Police officers used to wear vests bearing the large block letters “PO”, standing for police officer. Traveling in pairs, standers by saw the word POPO when they stood next to each other. Thus the slang word for police was birthed. See example below.
