popo
Slang for cops
Popo is slang for police, used casually or dismissively: The popo pulled me over for speeding.
The term emerged from African American vernacular and spread through hip-hop culture.
It's informal rather than hostile—more playful than confrontational, often used to signal awareness of police presence: Watch out, popo's coming.
