Quote from: CanRay on <05-08-11/2149:24>
A female "Sir" (Knight) is a "Dame".
Such as Dame Elton John.
...
I think I got that right.
Is there some way Dame and Damien Knight can be utilised?

I think we're missing an important step in the process here.
It's not just coming up with the term. It's them figuring out how to twist it.
I love the "Tin Men" idea... And may steal it. And twist it into gangs referring to them as "Tinners".
Of course... This has a double edge for me. The guy who taught me Shadowrun in the first place, his last name was Tinner, so... Muhuhahahaha!

"Tinnies" for Patrolmen and "Goldies" for Detectives, based on their badges might also work.
Actually, any derogatory military term would work for Ares Employees. I'd bet "Civilian" is a rank for them, after all, just like the old days of Rome.

Knight Errant = KE = KE-sters = keister cops
Like a butt.
The keister cops just sit around protecting the corpsers while real people get run down by street gangs and monsters.

It's not particularly offensive, but I did like the "Rent-A-Cop" suggestion. It would be quite the insult to an organization that is sure to see itself as more than that.
But that's too long. I figure you just shorten it to "Rent" or "Rents"
"Rents" could also read as " 'Rents" or parents, here in a negative context.
Or also
this
, also in a negative context.

Calling law enforcement the fuzz, the man, pigs, bacon, or Klingons, etc. may never go out of style.

Personally KE-sters is great. it also makes it easy on the tag since it can be appended easily.

KE-ster's even funnier when you know that keister is used as a verb to mean "stuffed up the ass"
like
"The drug mule kiestered the balloon full of coke."

I keep reading KE-ster as keystone, as in keystone cops, which also works.

KE-sters, Tin Men and Night Pawns are my favorites in that order.

KE have been called cats, kits, and by extension kittens, by members of my group before. Ket sounds like cat I suppose.
