Thoughts for the day

The day began with sunshine. Then about 11:30 it became overcast, then thunder and lightning. Then a heavy rain for 30 minutes. Now it is just a drizzle. Gotta love the monsoon.

Slang Words…

Five-O

- Pop culture reference point: "Hawaii Five-O" (1968)

"Five-O" is a slang term used to describe a police officer and was memorably used in the title of the procedural TV series "Hawaii Five-O" (which followed a police unit of the same name). While "Hawaii Five-O" ran from 1968 until 1980, it wasn't until 1983 that the New York Times officially mentioned the term in an article about teen slang.
