Rozzers — a slang term for police
domscott, you obviously haven't spent much time around young people in the UK since at least the late 90s! Teens and young adults I was around frequently (and laughably in my opinion) referred to the police as 'the Feds' back than and certainly in the first decade of the 2000s. It's either faded from use now or I just spend less time around young people. Last I remember, the kids on the street had started using 'Popo' for police. Both terms nicked from the US as I understand it, kids here are heavily influenced by US slang terms, it's been this way for a looong time. US slang always seems to be seen as cool by the kids and is quickly adopted, especially now that terms are spread so quickly via social media.— March 4, 2019 1:08 a.m.
