Definition & Meaning of "fuzz"in English

What does "fuzz" mean in slang?

It is used to describe a policeman, often in informal or rebellious contexts, such as "The fuzz showed up and broke up the party." The term originated in American slang during the 1920s or 1930s, with several theories: one suggests it comes from the fuzzy texture of police hats or wool uniforms, another claims it derives from "fuss" (as in police making a fuss), and a third points to the sound of static on police radio. Regardless of its true origin, "fuzz" became popular in 1960s and 1970s counterculture, anti-war movements, and rock music, though it has since faded somewhat in favor of newer terms.
