policeman
n.— «Still, there are those who believe Crosby’s very life is in danger every time he steps on the ice, and to remedy the situation, the Penguins need to immediately acquire a, ahem, “policeman.” For those unfamiliar with hockey talk, that’s another word for a complete moron who likes to fight and can’t play at all and steals the job of a real athlete who is good enough to be in the NHL but has to toil in the minors. A cement head. A thug. Cro-Magnon Man on blades of steel.» —“He’s a ‘whiner’? He needs ‘protection’? Not this Kid” by Damien Cox ESPN.com Feb. 8, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
