Why are cops or feds referred to as "five ohh"

[FearoftheNight]

[digitalsm]

[blackdogdeek]

so what does Hawaii 5-0 mean?

5-oh is the name for the Hawaii state police unit in the tv show. Copied from the five-oh webpage: "Jack Lord played Steve McGarrett, head of an elite state police unit investigating "organized crime, murder, assassination attempts, foreign agents, felonies of every type."

edit: hit enter too soon.

Yup. Most people here probably don't know what movie my quote is from.

In this small town that I grew up in, they used Mustang 5.0's, and everyone would call them the 5-0's..

 

[Syringer]

A lot of old fogies up in this thread.

 

[MazerRackham]

I call the popo "one time" instead of 5-0.

I think in most areas the police code for other police is 5-0. Regardless, the local smokies are the only ones that are called 5-0, the feds are the feds, or federalies.
