aynasız: difference between revisions

The slang sense is of uncertain origin. A popular etymology claims the origin of the ‘police’ sense comes from the fact that Turkish police in the 1970s used cars of the model Renault 12 TS which lacked one side mirror, hence ‘mirrorless’ came to mean ‘police’. However, the sense dates back to at least the 1930s, so this cannot be correct.<ref>{{cite-web|2020-01-20|Merve Elmacı|Aynasız tabiri 1970 model Renault otomobillerden gelmiyor|Teyit.org|https://teyit.org/aynasiz-tabiri-1970-model-renault-otomobillerden-gelmiyor}}</ref>
