[QUOTE="kinggabby, post: 1596492, member: 19139"] The post about saying got me to thinking. We use words and sayings that have been around along time. But do we know where they came from or where they started? I will start. #1 No comment from the peanut gallery? The peanut gallery was where the kids sat on the Howdy Doody show. #2 Cops The term coppers and cops come straight from England. LEO in England used to have badges made from Copper . So they were coppers at first and then shortened to Cops. [/QUOTE]
