Brownshirts

Originally used to describe the original members of the Nazi Party who would wear brown uniforms to meetings and events before Hitler came to power.

Now used as a derogatory term for police, FBI or other law enforcement agents or anyone in authority.

Brownshirts

Employees of the Tax Credits Office of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Derived both from their role as enforcers for Gordon Brown, and their enthusiastic embracing of Social Justice & Human Rights values not seen since the fall of Nazi Germany.

'I don't believe it, love - the Brownshirts have just phoned demanding we pay all last years Tax Credits back or they'll take us to court'

brown shirts

Soldiers in Hitler's storm trooper army, SA during the Nazi regime. They were called this because of the colored shirts they wore.
To call someone a brown shirt is to call them a Nazi soldier, usually hinting that they oppose human rights or freedom. This is a very serious insult, and in forums is used to Flame someone.
Hitler used many different forces to accomplish his goals when he rose to power. One of these forces were the SA, or Storm Troopers. The SA soldiers were called Brown Shirts.

The Brown Shirts will harass you if they hear you saying "that."

brown shirts

What the Republicans have turned themselves into. Especially at the lower level, brown shirts are a collection of thugs who get quite annoyed at those who oppose monkey boy.

New brown shirts accuse those who don't like monkey boy of everything, from causing bad hair days to treason.
