Is the acronym "ACAB" in common use among your criminal population? I am going to a fancy dress party as an american prisoner and was thinking of having "HATE" on one set of knuckles and "ACAB" on the other. I wanted it to be accurate though. If this isn't the case, what are popular jailhouse tattoos to have on your knuckles? Thanks in advance. |

|
|
maybe in movies. so no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
if u want accuracy go with jesus. he's big in jail |
||||||||
|

|
|
i have never seen that in my life and i dont know what it means |
||||||||
|
|

It stands for "All Coppers Are Bastards". I've heard Americans use FTP ("Fuck the police") in grafitti on gang territory, in a similar way. Because it has 4 letters and is a popular anti-authority motto, 'ACAB' is a popular thing for convicts to have tattooed on one fist's set if knuckles (one letter on each knuckle). |

||||||||

We Need A Cop killer WNACK (Ice T shout out) MS13 and bring a machette with you to the party. Ive heard Acab once when I was a kid. I dont think its still in use. or at least not on the east coast. |

I've never heard that acronym before. As far as the "C" is concerned, I think "coppers" would be shortened to "cops". If I'm not mistaken, "copper" refers to the copper buttons on standard police uniform from several decades ago. Therefore, I think the word "copper" in reference to law enforcement might be obsolescent, as it's since been shortened to "cop". |
||||||||

|
|
cop = "constable on patrol" apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It could mean both I s'pose. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's more likely that it's an abbreviation of copper where copper means "one who seizes," (cop er) as "capere" is an old latin word meaning "to take." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. It is a well known fact that the majority of the criminal community are fluent in old latin and often utilise it in the form of insults. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Language develops from one thing to another. Just like how hocus pocus most likely comes from people misunderstanding the priests going "hoc est corpus filio sancti" or whatever that prayer is... |

Do you ever get vertigo when you talk so far down to people? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have vertigo quite often, but that's more because of migraines and tinnitus and maybe when I forget to eat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no not all all - you might want to try looking up gangs and the words they use - thats (gangs) really big here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Genuine lol! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go with the "love - hate" routine, and some spider webs on your elbows, maybe a black tear drop under one eye. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool, I'll go with that, sans the teardrop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but the teardrop is the pièce de résistance! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Go with "ABBA" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously, y'aint hardcore unless you got one of them tear drops. (for the uninitiated, each tear drop represents one dead homie.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in dfw we say "pig" -- but there are plenty of cool cops in dallas who dont care about weed and other stuff so its kinda considered rude. its reserved for traffic patrollers |
