    Just wondering does anyone know what the phrase is that the kids on the block use to alert the dealers that the cops are coming. I have a feeling it could be five-oh but I'm not fully sure. Also what does the phrase stand for or where did it come from. Thanks

    They shout "Five-O" as in the cop show Hawaii Five-O.

    Although that would make sense I'm pretty sure it's five-o.

    I'm pretty damn sure it's po-po in the majority of the cases. I can't find the actual scene on youtube but here's an interview with David Simon and a script excerpt.

    Why cant they just say here come to guards. Saying that doesn't make them sound so F***ing ridiculous. Po-Po? Are you sure its not po po 'stutter' police? They may as well call them the LAPD.
