    The NYPD does not internally call itself a “police force”, its always “paramilitary organization” or similar.

        I actually worked there as an intern (unpaid of course).

          Unfortunately you saying that still has the same credibility as your first statement. It’s just your word. I don’t doubt they do on occasion but to say ALWAYS refer to themselves that way is a lot to take on word alone.

            I’m saying internally, they call themselves a police force for external (aka public) relations. Internally they feel no need to use pretty language.

      “F*** the paramilitary organization” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

        Just make it an acronym, P.O.

        Maybe double up to make it sound cute

        popo

          Popo is a word used in German to describe a butt

            In Portuguese, the suffix “zão” is colloquially used to represent an augmentative form. “Popozão”, in Brazil, means exactly what you’re thinking of.

                I’d say it’s more like “Poppo”. The English popo for police would be “poh poh”, I think.
