Police officers that patrol certain beaches on bikes wore a vest that said PO in huge blockletters on each of their chest. which means Police Officer. they usually ride around in group of two's. When you see them coming by, you see the word "PO" "PO" when they stand next to each other.

I find that rather amusing.

Its a term I've heard used mostly by urban city youths, gang bangers and such. Hardly how I think of you:) Digging a bit more I see the info you posted on its origin, and that slang term originated with California Asian gangs. It later spread nationwide and some think it has origins with African Americans.

Next thing you know, many of the kids that popularized Facebook will abandon it because their parents and grandparents have started using it.

This may be drifting perilously close to becoming a politic discussion.  :-(

That is already happening.....the group of FB users that is seeing the greatest growth are those people that are 55 and older!  Younger people are moving to Snapchat and tinder, where their posts disappear quickly and are generally not seen by parents and other adults.

The media and politicians seem to be drawn to Twitter......opps!  Is that a political statement?  😜.   I don’t make political statements.  I live in Kentucky!  We have HONEST politicians here!  Once they are bought , they stay bought!   Vote early and vote often!   😂

In my day, we called them The Fuzz. It was good enough for me! Dang kids.
