A street gang in LA and rivals of The Bloods, another LA gang. They like wearing blue. This is what is known to anyone outside of California.

Apparently they do illegal stuff and frequently send their cronies to Urban Dictionary to 'represent', most likely to the dismay of their even partially literate members.

At some point Quentin Tarantino has mentioned them on The Tonight Show.

Famous rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg claims that that he keeps "a blue flag" in his left back pocket, since that is the "crip side".
" - Ever heard of The Crips?
- Yeah, they're some kinda gang, right?"

Get the crips mug.
Thoroughly stupid, illiterate, and ignorant people who:

* Tie blue rags around their ass holes
* Make stupid signs with their hands
* Haven't the slightest amount of courage
* Aren't bold enough to knock over a liquor store without six of their buddies standing around
* Are too stupid to know how to hold a handgun
* Are too ignorant to get a job
* End up in prison, or maybe dead in the gutter
Shauntay and Esmore are crips. They hold their guns on their sides to show everyone how stupid they are

A street gang originating in the Los Angeles area. "Crip" is actually shorthand for "Cripple." Many Crip members are crippled in the head and lack rudimentary knowledge such as speech and have a limited level of learning intelligence. It often takes 10 crips to complete the task of 1 non-crip. In an effort to seperate themselves from the rest of the world, they carry blue rags which they do often tie around their assholes.
Crip: " Yo yo yo, gimmie yo wallet biznatch!! I be in da Crips andju betta recognize!"

Non-Crip: "Um....no. Mebbe if you had ten of your "homies" I might be intimidated...but piss off before I kick your balls in AND send you to jail.

Crip: "Dam, that jonks is fuuud uuup!"

Men who killed and stole for money to restore the ghetto, Community Restoration in Progress. Were the first killers in 1967, then in 1969 BLOOD's came out as a defense group, hence the OD (Of Defense) in BLOOD. Now a bunch of little kids who want to go around fighting people for wearing the color red and not navy blue who also claim their parents to be a member, as well as their whole family, to make it seem like shits real.
