Liverpool slang (Scouse) for a police officer — used by locals to refer to the police in a tone that ranges from neutral to clearly derogatory depending on context. The term is strongly associated with Merseyside and marks you as a local if you use it naturally. Like most slang for cops, it allows speakers to talk about law enforcement without using the official terminology, signaling group membership and a certain attitude toward authority. Still very much in active use on Merseyside today.

The lads scattered when they saw a bizzie coming round the corner.
Origin: Origin uncertain but believed to be connected to 'busy' — a 19th-century British slang term for a police officer or detective, possibly from the idea of someone who is always 'busy' minding other people's business. The Scouse variant 'bizzie' is well-documented from the late 20th century. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
