Re: "The Filth"
For sure, I confess that I started using it for it's shock value back in my early twenties. Unfortunately (or not depending on your pov) I'm now stuck with it and it's the first thing I think of when I see the police. But, like what happens when you swear all the time, the word loses a certain amount of it's power eventually.
Edit to add: And what is po po?

Re: "The Filth"
these and the filth and old bill seem to be pretty much southern terms, i've some friends i work with from the met and that is how they refer to themselves in war stories and the like. never really heard northern officers/customers use rozzer, OB or the filth.

Oddly my OH has an a very endearing term for Calgary Police engaged in a particular Activity. That term is Bastards, karma for the first person who guess the activity.
One of UK friends has a much better term for the Majority of Calgary Police (and quite a few other Calgary Residents actually):- Fat Forkers

Re: "The Filth"
The filth was a bit too 1970s Bermondsey gangster. OB was way more common, that and the 'Charlies', rhymes with Charlie Briggs, etc, but then I lived down safff.
