an offensive term for a US county sheriff.

man (ignoring the interruption): Lol. i just found out I have Notting Hill In-laws. Mother-in-law is a recovering crack addict and and alcoholic, father-in-law has a criminal record for Bernie Madoff style fraud and has already served time and was released, one brother-in-law is currently in jail for helping smuggle illegal Mexican immigrants into The States.
