Mountie
nickname- a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the Mounties) CANADA, 1914
A colloquial term in such widespread use, especially via films (and the slogan: “The Mounties always get their man”) that it is often accepted as conventional. - Nevertheless, publishers have yet to be convinced that an interesting book can be written about the land of moose and Mounties. “You mention Canada, and their faces go ashen,” he [Bill Bryson] said. — Guardian, 2 June 2003
- a student of the prestigious all-girl Dublin secondary school, Mount Anville IRELAND
- I spot Fionn chatting up Fiona, this Mountie who all the goys say is SO thick she carries ID around just to, like, remind her of her name. — Paul Howard, Ross O’Carroll-Kelly, p. 193, 2003
