    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.

              Has this ever leaked out in writing or do they have 100% success rate of keeping this a secret?

      “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

            Is it pronounced poopoo?

              No, more like poh poh

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

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