The only time I've ever heard the word "popo" or "popes" used aloud has been by suburban white kids trying to pretend they came from the ghetto.

And whe I say "kids" I mean thirteen or fourteen years-old. I think once you hit fifteen you realize how ridiculous you sound, even if you are en emo upper-class white wanna-be rapper...

Yes we do use it outside of forums
I use it with friends sometimes (more as a joke), but I mostly use "police"

It is a silly word. The only people I've ever heard use it were serious idiots that thought they were "hardcore".

I only use popo in forums. It sounds queerish, but the funny kind of queerish.

It's a term that some people use. You may call them the fuzz or the heat but homey calls them the popo. Deal with it, Caspar. :laugh:

do people actually use it outside of these forums?

all i can do is picture these big, tough, mean looking gang members getting ready for a drive-by or something and one of them says "we gots ta watch out fo da popo, dawg!" in this mike tyson voice...

1. POPO
A Police officer. especially the ones that rides on bikes.

Orgin: California late 80's

police officers that patrols certain beaches on bikes wore a vest that said PO in huge blockletters on each of their chest. which means Police Officer. they usually ride around in group of two's.

when you see them coming by. you see the word "PO" "PO" when they stand next to each other.
Man.. here comes the PoPo to tell us what to do again.

you really need to get out more....

id like to see you tell some of my homeboys that they sound gay when they they use the term popo...then again they would probably say the same about you when you say lightning bolt lightening bolt dressed in your harry potter outfit :p

but in your defense they also use the words pigs, fuzz, five-o to describe the police

We say PoPo or Five O and all the others all the time, but then again I'm probably more in touch with the lower echelons of society than you as well. :p

I look forward to you starting a thread about each one!

thanks! i'll be glad to make a post about each word if i get to see your inane replies to each one!

Pontifex, seriously, you make a lot of useless threads about every little thing that pops in your head. You don't need to post so much here....or at least don't make so many threads.

Don't worry you're not the only one who does that, there are a handful of you guys who post about the most useless things possible.
