It seems that the word 'flic' was first used in in the first half of the 19th century. At the end of the century, it was popularised by the character of the 'adjudant Flick', a stubborn army chief sergeant in 'les gaités de l'escadron' (the squad's merriments), a 1886 play by Georges Courteline. The play was a popular success and 'les gaités de l'escadron' was turned into a movie in 1949 with the most popular French comic actor of the time.
