Most commonly used to refer to Police Officers/detectives or anyone associated with law enforcement. Origins date back to an early 1970βs television series titled β
Hawaii Five Oβ. Detectives on this show were assigned to a special unit (
Five O) and were savvy, aggressive and always apprehended the suspect. Much like the character β
Daisy Dukeβ from the Dukes of Hazard television series whose short shorts spawned a once popular clothing trend with women very effeminate men, the term 5 0 too has transcended television to urban slang.
