The new one of calling the police "the feds". We have many slang terms for the police. Bobbies. Peelers. The fuzz. Old bill. If you're a Micky mouse and want to be disparaging you can use The busy's. If you're from the midlands and dont like them you say the filth. One thing we haver called them is....the feds. They're not federal agents. We're not in America. You're not a American plastic gangster. Please stop humilliating yourself
