DA
County legal prosecutor
DA is district attorney, the chief prosecutor for a jurisdiction: The DA filed charges against the suspect.
DA also refers to a 1950s men's hairstyle—the ducktail or duck's ass—where hair is slicked back to meet in the middle. (Lowercase da is dialectal for "the"; Da is informal for dad.)
