The structure is a simple noun, short and punchy, whose exact origin is debated but likely comes from the verb "to cop" meaning "to capture or seize," dating back to the 18th century. It is used to describe someone who works as a member of a police force, serving as one of the most common and enduring slang terms for police officers. People typically say "cop" in casual conversation, news reports, and crime fiction, as in "The cops arrived on the scene" or "He's a cop from the local precinct."

"Shut up" is an English phrase that dates back to at least the 18th century, originally meaning to enclose or confine something, and later used figuratively to tell someone to stop talking. It is a forceful command used to demand silence, often in informal, confrontational, or frustrated contexts. The phrase is mildly to moderately rude, depending on tone and situation, and is considered impolite in formal or polite conversation.
