It’s a nickname for crossing guards in the UK. I didn’t know what it meant until I watched a James Acaster comedy special (or a series of specials) wherein he worked as a lollipop man. Or rather until I was partway through, and I just thought it was extra surreal. I highly recommend it.

Because his stop sign is shaped like a lollipop.
