tbf, usually when the police and military type agencies start being given outfits specifically designed to look cool, its often because of an authoritarian group getting power and wanting people to idolize or join up with those professions, so having unusually good looking police outfits can be a bit suspicious

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

All the best cops wear high-viz

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I support our ~~meter maids~~ parking attendants and crossing guards.

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

For real, though. Pick the cop least likely to be on a power trip.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I'm thinking... the one in a skirt and heels.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago

I don't know the correct way to spell zhouzh, but I know for a fact it is not "jooj".

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Believe it or not I think the correct answer is genuinely in the middle for once

Jouzh

The start is slightly shorter than the end

Okay, well just remember you made me do this:

Genre - nre

&

Beige - Bei

It's now spelled

Geouge

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It’s tough but fair. I’ll have the t-shirts made up in the morning.

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is it french? (don't come for me I can't conjugate in french to save my fucking life 😂 but jouez looked...more pleasant to my eyeballs lol)

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I do not understand either of those, what do you mean?

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is it anything like juche, the Korean-supremacist ideology of North Korea?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 19 points 2 years ago

As a kid I always wondered why most police uniforms were black. Bad guys wear black. As an adult, I get it now. Bad guys wear black.

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Now I'm picturing a cop trying to walk all confidently out of his squad car during a traffic stop while wearing a frilly maid outfit.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

We could even get the military in on this.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Ah? Ah? What do you think?

[-] Omniraptor@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

This thread isn't complete without that pic of WW2 British soldiers operating coastal defense artillery in drag

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

Last person that tried to do something like that got fired

We always lose the good ones

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is also how I spell it, but is it the correct spelling?

Edit: I should have just read further.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They claim it's jouzh but I don't agree, the Oxford dictionary has zhuzh

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

zhuzh and zhoosh according to Merriam-Webster.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Disagree, their uniform is pretty great!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ok that is kind of styling.

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Also no guns, so I don't have to worry to be shot for shits and giggles :)

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Really owning the whole dickhead thing.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's spelled "zhuzh", I think.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The internet didn't seem to agree on one spelling so I went with phonetic.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah we should dress them with more style.

HUGO BOSS STYLE

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Haha Nazis funny

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago

This is by far the pettiest complaint about law enforcement I’ve heard in my entire life.

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

look up all meanings of "to serve"

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

While we're at it, why aren't the cops brining donuts to my house?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh - hahaha - yeah, no . . . Ehhhh, no they’re not here to serve. Heh.

Naw.

[-] Finalsolo963@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Dressing schlubby is how the Nazis are disguising themselves lately.

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago

Is this it? Am I finally too old to understand The Youths™?

[-] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Because they know nobody's tipping.

[-] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I don't understand the reasoning. The serving class has never been pretty to behold. Wealthy people are the pretty ones.

We know that they're wealthy because they haven't got shit all over them.

[-] felsiq@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The joke is with the double meaning of “serve”, which is also slang for looking good or having good style

[-] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Ah, thank you, young lad for helping this old person cross the language road today.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They're here to serve man, obviously.
