A noun describing a "police officer" who has no responsibility or drive, and basically sits at the
office all
day watching streaming video on the
internet. This specimen claims that their job description limits them to traffic stops
alone, and therefore will do no other
police work. This "officer" then claims that they cannot do traffic stops due to overwhelming volume of paperwork.
It is unclear whether the paperwork is truly mounting or not, but is, in fact, a moot point. The fact is that it is not paperwork that is the main responsibility of this "officer", but rather continuous verification of the department's internet connection.
Also plaguing this individual is the grand poobah syndrome. This is where this "officer" exhibits such jagitude that his fellow Officers have to choke down their own vomit while listening this limbaugh rattle off his many qualifications.
Officer #1: "Hey, you're the s.t.e.p. officer, I'll ask you! Do you know what the
ratio of the maximum static friction
force between the surfaces in contact to the normal
force when the coefficient of kinetic friction is defined as the
ratio of the kinetic friction force between the surfaces in contact to the normal force would be?"
S.T.E.P. officer: {watching mentos videos on ebaumsworld.com} "Hang on a second ... that's friggin AWESOME! Now, what? Oh, yeah, I do..."
Officer #1: "Well, what is it?"
S.T.E.P. officer: {thinking hard} "Well, first you have to look on the other side of the coin, then we can move forward {
hand gesture}. I am SOOOO buried in paperwork..."
Officer #2: "I just got out of P.O.S.T. yesterday, and I think that's the coefficient of friction you're talking about. I would tell you more, but there are
five calls pending, let's go handle them!"
S.T.E.P. officer: "You guys go ahead, I have too much paperwork {Dukes of Hazzard trailer on
