    Ohhh more pointless bragging!

    I lived on the Outer Banks, NC in the town of Manteo, NC actually where Andy Griffith has a home. You know Andy Griffith, the sheriff of Mayberry, NC.

    glaceinfl: you need to find out where the houses are a stalk them. :D

    I love words. Cop's derivation isn't as an acronym for "constable on patrol," nor is it because of copper worn by policemen; its exact origin is unclear, but the Oxford English Dictionary (which has incredible etymological resources) says it's likely to be from the verb "to cop" which is about grabbing or taking. The coppers grab people... Don't get caught by the coppers etc. Kinda makes sense. Anyhow, The Straight Dope has quite a good piece on it and why cops (not particularly derogatory in this day and age, not since I was a little kid although I'm still surprised to hear the term on the tv news) are called cops, pigs (definitely derogatory),and the fuzz:

    You lived in the OBX????? We went there for Spring Break in 2010 and loved it! We stayed right on the beach in Duck. Not much going on because it was off season but really enjoyed it. We ate at Dirty Dick's and that was an experience.

    Hehe to the pointless bragging :)
