pig. Partridge notes that pig was slang for “a British police- man” in 1811, while Farmer advises that it was American crim- inal slang for “a policeman” in 1848. But the designation died out in both England and America by the 20th century. It didn’t surface again until American student demonstrations of the 1960s, which suggests a second, independent coinage of the term at that time. |
