I read about the same, inmate advertising his wears. Mentioned it once & another poster went off. Kind of a family friendly site so I backed off. But wanting to ask him how he knew so much about it, etc.
But yeah, the article saying how sad it was for the inner city youth to imitate convicts in prison, specifically gay convicts. I don't know & damn sure don't want to.
Had a couple of my boy scouts over the years, got into doing that. So I asked then why and they said it was being 'cool'.
The I asked them if they really knew what it meant. They of course had no idea. But when I told them it came from prison, and it meant that they were sexually available to the other convicts, they turned snow white, and the next time anyone saw them, they had their belt buckle on tight and almost up to their arm pits.
Cured them of that real quick....
