OP This is the part of AWAD that I enjoy the most. The "where, who or how" various terms came into the language is intriguing. Having visited England many times I wondered at the differences of terms for things. Bobby is
just one. Anu told us where the term comes from.
In the same vein where does the term "cop" stem from for an american policeman?
Does anyone know?
