Gang language is slang that uses words or terms not commonly recognized by those outside the gang community. Gang words or terms are normally taken out of context and meanings are twisted. "Blood" may mean a non-Crip gang member; "H" may be substituted for the word heroin; "down" might mean to do the right thing for fellow gang members or to live up to their expectations.
Words or terms that are unfamiliar, or seem to be used to describe something strange or different, may be a sign of gang-related activity. Parents, and teachers should discourage young people from using this type of slang. Gang language unknowingly used in front of a gang member could lead to physical violence. Sample gang language and terminology follows. Gang slang, terminology and language may have regional variations and the below list is merely a guideline: GANG SLANG GLOSSARY
