wooden top
Twirling childhood plaything
A wooden top is a toy, typically cone-shaped with a pointed tip, that spins on its point when set in motion by twisting, pulling a string, or whipping.
Tops have been children's toys for thousands of years across many cultures.
In British slang, wooden top is also a mildly derisive term for a police officer, from the old-fashioned tall helmet.
