Jabber's English Note---frisk

After having talked about the word "freeze", I would like to say a few words about "frisk".

In English, police officers use the word "frisk" to express the meaning of searching somebody's clothings and body. They seldom say "search". Instead, they say "frisk". If you have ever watched the Movie "GodFather", you may remember Michael was frisked by the police officer (a sherrif?) before he went to bathroom. The police officer said something like" I have ever frisked thousands of people." Unfortunately, he did not know Michael hid the weapon in the bathroom in advance!

In really life, if a high-rank police officer dispatchs his colleagues to catch some dangerous criminals, he may say: "Don't forget to frisk dudes!"

    • 最后一句不太明白,"Don't forget to frisk dudes!" 老警察要新警察搜纨绔子弟的身?
      • Some cops call the criminal suspect "dudes".
      • 我是这么理解这句话的: "小心他们身上的家伙". 提醒新警察记得搜查犯人.
        • Got it, thanks.
          • No problem. :-)
