Paco
/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A Carabinero or police officer in Chile, the street word for cops. 'Paco' doesn't carry automatic hostility, just street-level directness. Hearing 'viene el paco' triggers the same universal reflex everywhere: check your pockets and look calm.
“Here comes the cop, put that away.”
“The cop stopped us on the road and asked for our ID.”
