Heya people, bringing back this thread. ?
Can anyone think of times in fiction/whatever where police officers, government officials, or just the authorities in general are referred to with a unique term or nickname? For example, calling lawyers Suits, or the “Ten Men” in Mysterious Benedict Society.
