That word would probably conjure up this famous image - an overweight policeman, siting in his car, or leaning against his police car, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a pink sugary crusted donut in the other. Is that what came into your mind?
The reason: Many years ago, 24 hour stores were non-existent. Policemen who worked the night shift would have to wait until the stores opened. Donut shops and coffee joints were typically the first shops to be opened, and that's where all hungry people would go!
Ta-da! now you know the connection between donuts and policemen!
