I guess that is because they no longer where wool uniforms. Since they now wear polyester, should we call them pills?
Not that I want to hijack Paul's thread or anything, but is that why cops were called Fuzz?
I could never figure that one out, because when I first heard the term as a kid in the 60's, I always thought of it as a Hippy term. I always thought it ironic (except that I didn't know what irony was back then), as it seemed to me that the Hippies were pretty fuzzy, but the police didn't seem especially so...
I always took it to be derived from their very short (fuzzy) hair, compared to us cool types. 8-)
