As best I can tell this phrase has three meanings, depending on how it is used:
  • To tag social media networks, like Facebook, with Gang Sign/Symbols/Phrases
  • A fight between members internally
  • Enforcement of violations
In this case it was number two.

Or, you know, call the cops on his ass. I'm sure there's something that could get him t...

Gang Phrases Help

Anyone here happen to know what the phrase "Throwing books" means when referring to STG (Gangs) usage? I'd appreciate any serious input. I think I know what it means, but I just want confirmation.

So Agents of Shield has potential-I like the banter, and interactions between the characters, but I am unsure of how I feel about how it's trying to intertwine the story lines of the movies and the TV show. That's a pretty difficult balance to achieve.
