DOP
This WaPo article on the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh says, at the end of its fourth paragraph, that Singh describes himself as being a number of things ranging from "Spiritual Saint" to "Allrounder Sportsperson", with the last role being "DOP". What is DOP in this context? I wasn't able to find anything likely either in our DAB on DOP or Urban Dictionary's entry on DOP. -- ToE 12:16, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
