A term of endearment for one who is a cousin. Does not need to be of blood relation, but some one who has a cousin like relationship with another person. It is generally used for a first cousin situation. Not necessarily used in context for "gang banger" terminology but can be.
basically the same as calling your boy 'holmes', 'cuz', 'dog', etc.... but when it's used, it tends to be more personal...like you are giving the status of 'cousin' to someone who's not related to you...only by the street or a hustle
its what u call another crip, its like cuz. thats where it originated but some people just say it because they hear it a lot and dont know why people call each other that.
