Five o

n. When someone says five o they are referring to police. This was derived from the engine of the ford cop cars. The cars ran on 5 liter engines and had a 5.0 symbol on the side. In fact, the same symbol is used on the sides of the 5 liter ford mustangs.

Oh shit, five o. Dipset; we'll meet by the car in 10.

Generally: anyone, anywhere packin' a badge or talkin' to someone who does; Cops; LVPD on bicycles; LAPD; NYPD; Sheriff's Deputy; CHiPs; Highway Patrol; State Police; Texas Ranger; feds; U.S. Marshall; DEA; BATF; undercover detective; the man; gubbamint agent; revenuer; Dog the Bounty Hunter; Officer of the Court; DA, judge; meter maid; security guard; narc; snitch; CI.

Even more broadly: paranoid label for anyone out-of-place in the hood; a person (potential witness) suspected of surveillance; someone who trades their legal troubles for incriminating testimony against someone else.

"This is McGarrett, FIVE-O. You're dusted (busted).
Book'em Dan-O (or Book him, Danno)."

"The Feds are bastards. Even Captain Steve McGarrett of Five-O don't like 'em for their inept and abusive heavy-handed tactics."

The Five-O

Route 50, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland has been renamed to "The Five-O" for it's ease of rolling off the tongue and it's "hoodness" factor.

We pulled up in our sled to the DQ just off of the five-o and got a Blizzard.

five-o

although it does come from hawaii 5-0, my undestanding is that it specified undercover officers, or detectives
