The Fuzz, I never understood that term. ....from ask.yahoo.com/20050307.html...... Although "the fuzz" is not a phrase encountered in common parlance, it appears to have originated in the U.S. in the 1920s. It was a pretty popular slang term among "underground types" in the '30s. As is the case with many word origin issues, there are several theories but no definitive answer for your question. Here are some of the more widespread theories on the origins of "the fuzz": "Fuzz" is derived from "fuss" because police officers are fussy or hard to please. It's a reference to the beards that police officers sported at the time. It's a slurred pronunciation of the exclamation "Feds." It's based on the criminal slang term "fuzzy," which meant "unmanly, incompetent and soft." It's from the Wolof word "fas" for a horse, which was applied to mounted police officers and then ultimately to all officers. So there you have it -- the fuzzy origins of "the fuzz."

Dying days of the trolly, and the demise of foresight in this city. So sad, we wouldn't be talking about building rapid transit, we would be talking about expanding it.
