Where I'm from, this is typically a term used more by black men or young adults. It's hardly ever used by white people (except for those that my town calls "whiggers.") Comment by: Amanda

It's a lower-class slang, typical more of minority speech; a recognition of the unspoken class war in American society and the police's role in enforcing the racial status quo. Derogatory. Comment by: OmegaZ   

Really, only people from the ghetto use this. It's not very popular. Actually. Comment by: Ceecee    Rated:2/5

It refers to the cars they used to drive which had a 5.0 in it Comment by: Curtis   

Yeah, I say 5-0 all the time. It's the same as saying "cops" or "po-po". It comes from the old TV show called Hawaii 5-0, a show about police officers. Hawaii was the fiftieth state, hence the name. Comment by: C.N.   

what about Po po for the police in America as well? or aren't you including the rich dialogues of the non whitey population? Comment by: k
