Jooj them up.

tbf, usually when the police and military type agencies start being given outfits specifically designed to look cool, its often because of an authoritarian group getting power and wanting people to idolize or join up with those professions, so having unusually good looking police outfits can be a bit suspicious
- All the best cops wear high-viz
  
  I support our ~~meter maids~~ parking attendants and crossing guards.
I don't know the correct way to spell zhouzh, but I know for a fact it is not "jooj".
- Believe it or not I think the correct answer is genuinely in the middle for once
  
  Jouzh
  
  The start is slightly shorter than the end
  
  zhuzh
  
  I’ll disagree.
  
  Is it french? (don't come for me I can't conjugate in french to save my fucking life 😂 but jouez looked...more pleasant to my eyeballs lol)
- I do not understand either of those, what do you mean?

  Is it anything like juche, the Korean-supremacist ideology of North Korea?
As a kid I always wondered why most police uniforms were black. Bad guys wear black. As an adult, I get it now. Bad guys wear black.
Now I'm picturing a cop trying to walk all confidently out of his squad car during a traffic stop while wearing a frilly maid outfit.
- Looks good to me.
  
  We could even get the military in on this.
- Last person that tried to do something like that got fired
  
  We always lose the good ones
zhuzh
- This is also how I spell it, but is it the correct spelling?
  
  Edit: I should have just read further.
  
  They claim it's jouzh but I don't agree, the Oxford dictionary has zhuzh
Disagree, their uniform is pretty great!
- Ok that is kind of styling.
  
  Also no guns, so I don't have to worry to be shot for shits and giggles :)
- Really owning the whole dickhead thing.
It's spelled "zhuzh", I think.
- The internet didn't seem to agree on one spelling so I went with phonetic.
This is by far the pettiest complaint about law enforcement I’ve heard in my entire life.
- look up all meanings of "to serve"
  
  While we're at it, why aren't the cops brining donuts to my house?
Yeah we should dress them with more style.

HUGO BOSS STYLE
- Haha Nazis funny
Dressing schlubby is how the Nazis are disguising themselves lately.
Oh - hahaha - yeah, no . . . Ehhhh, no they’re not here to serve. Heh.

Naw.
Because they know nobody's tipping.
Is this it? Am I finally too old to understand The Youths™?
- Here's the reference
I don't understand the reasoning. The serving class has never been pretty to behold. Wealthy people are the pretty ones.

We know that they're wealthy because they haven't got shit all over them.
- The joke is with the double meaning of “serve”, which is also slang for looking good or having good style
  
  Ah, thank you, young lad for helping this old person cross the language road today.
They're here to serve man, obviously.
