The clown walk is based on the Crip walk but is much faster and more intricate. Unlike the Crip walk, it is strictly a dance. It is done by people who do not want to be mistaken for Crips, and it has different styles and moves. Other names include the "krypt walk", "clownin'", "cwalkin" with no capital c, "crown walk".

Get the clown walk mug.THe footwork dance performed by Swoops (Bloods) to signal membership in the Blood gang. Compare and contrast the more famous Crip Walk. The Swoop Walk is slightly different and involves shuffling and jumping around, sometimes spelling out Blood or the local set with one foot while shuffling with the other.
The Crip yelled, "UHRIIIIP!" and in response the blood put on a red baseball cap and did the swoop-walk while throwing a B with his hands.

Get the swoop-walk mug.Look at the word. Let's break it down, kids.
Gang + ster
A person who is a GANG MEMBER is a gangsta. Being poor, sagging your pants, or looking tough do not make you a gangsta. A gangsta is a gang member...this should be obvious.

Get the gangsta mug.Stands for Mar Salvatruchas Trece (thirteen in Spanish, taken from the Southsiders or Sur 13)
Mara Salvatruchas means something like Gangster Salvadoran Soldiers....
Anyway, MS-13 is THE most dangerous gang in America, possibly the world. Why? THey have no purpose other than beating, shooting, and chopping up rival gang members...the problem is, they don't check to make sure someone's a rival before they kill them, they tend to stab first ask later. If you see MS-13 graffiti in your hood, don't freak out...most sets that claim Ms-13 are posers trying to get the same attention. Beware, MS-13 is nationwide and also in MExico and El Salvador.
They formed in a funny way....there was a war in El Salvador, so a bunch of Salvadorans moved to LA. THere, they copied the Mexicans in LA and made gangs. The cops busted and deported these gangsters.....and accidentally spread them across the border, multiplying theire numbers. They beat in their members to ensure toughness, and they attack with knives and machetes rather than guns because stabbing is more "up close and personal" so it creates real fear. So yeah...the real MS is scary as hell, the poser MS is laughable.
Colors are blue and white....don't confuse with Sur X3 who also uses blue and number 13.

MS-13 members might chop up a guy who they THINk iss a rival gangbanger, but won't check to make sure he IS a rival gangbanger....and they show no remorse whatsoever.

The west side is NOT, as incorrectly defined, the west coast. It refers to the westside, duh, of a major city. It is used by street gangs if they originate from the western neighborhoods of a certain area. If you live on the west coast, that does not make you west side. That depends on where in that particular city you reside.
Rob: You're from San Francisco, right?
Bobby: Yep.
Rob: How are things on the west side?
Bobby: Uh...you mean, west coast?
