    It's a slogan used as a protest statement, particularly within anti-establishment and anti-police movements. The acronym has a long history, particularly within subcultures like punk, skinheads, and football hooligans. It's also associated with anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideologies.

    It also originated in England.

    America is not nearly based enough for Americans to “constantly say” that, unfortunately.
