1.In Scotland, slang for police.
2.A city/state like ancient Athens. Athenian citizens voted in a pure democracy. Polis now means city, community, or those in power. Politics comes from the same word, as well as words like police and metropolis. "Apo tin akri tis polis" (From the edge of the city) was an outstanding gay movie that was Greece's official entry for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award.

A mercurial and imaginative musician with a penchant for hilarious non-sequitors. Polis can be recognized with such traits as ridiculously long eyelashes and cute spryness. They are sometimes seen composing fanciful melodies or staring blankly into webcams. If you are lucky enough to capture one in the wild, feed it a diet of cookies and soda and then set it free in the rolling hills.
