I hear this gangster slang all the time in rap. Does anyone actually know what a "four-four" gun is?

[Schuey2002]

The .44 magnum, perhaps.

[Combat-wombat]

Maybe, but gangsters are more into nines, i think, and wouldn't be lugging a Ruger Redhawk around on the street.

I got my dog through the arrest of a scumbag who had a loaded handgun in his car...

A Ruger Blackhawk .357 with a 6" or so barrel.


That's the reason why my one dog is named Ruger.

[Gatsu]

a "Pimped" out DE .44 maybe? Only the hardest thugs can roll wit dat 5-oh yo :rolleyes:

Most of the "gangstas" I've seen have lil .25ACP's

[Combat-wombat]

and btw, what's a gat?

[CZ 75 BD]

is a gun. Term from the 1920's I think?:D

:D That's on the Office Space soundtrack. Everyone needs to own that soundtrack and movie.

TheOtherOne- I LOVE that movie! The soundtrack isn't as good unless you know the context of the movie. I love cruising to the song:

"I got my pistol pointed, cocked, ready lay shots non-stop until I see yo' monkey ___ drop!"

:p

A gat is short for Gatling. Supposedly when the first successful semi-autos came out in the 1890s they were said to fire as quickly as Gatling guns.

Normally a gat refers to a semi-automatic handgun, at least as I've always seen it used in older movies...

[telewinz]

It was a 20's gangster term for the Thompson sub-machine gun. Melted ice cube talk is after my time.:D

Could is possibily be a "for-tee foe"?
