heart check 

When you're fresh in the system and other inmates or convicts want to see if you have heart/will stick up for yourself. Usually involves getting jumped by all of the torpedoes in your car when you least expect it (ie. shower or yard/exercise).

If you fail the heart check, you can pretty much kiss your commissary and welfare packets/extras away.

Houseman: Yo, easy money coming thru the door. I heard some of our new bunkies are paid members. Heart check them and see if they hoe up or not
*fish gets heart checked and hoes up like a bitch*
*fish now gets punked for soups every day*

when some one is punched in the chest with force; the attack of punching one in the chest and if the recipient of the punch is a bitch about it then they have no heart but if they eat the punch then it shows that they have heart and therefore are protected against the heart check ; a way of pulling someone's hoe card ;could be for sayin dumb shit;could be for ne reason at all, maybe the person performing the heart check wants to pull a hoe card

1. Ken-(in front of jay talkin to jenny, who is jay's girlfriend) hey Jenny u know jay fucked kayla last night.(Jay punches Ken in the chest for the dumb shit he said)
2. Jack punches Dan in the chest, and Dan cries about it and him being a bitch about it demonstrates that his hoe card was pulled, or, Jack punches Dan in the chest and Dan eats the punch and tells Jack "yea man u punch like a little bitch," then Dan beats Jack's ass, signaling that Dan's hoe card was not pulled.

Heat Check 

A heat check is when you do something to check to see how hot you are. In basketball, this is done by taking a crazy shot to see if you are so hot, you can even make ridiculous shots. It is the most direct, non-subtle attempt to score with no strategy at all. In pursuing women, a heat check is a simple, direct statement made to a woman to see if she will be interested. A man is “just checking” to see if it works without needing more clever methods. The best heat checks involve minimal risk, because they are harmlessly “just checking” and not a full-blown attempt.

Guy 1: Why did you invite that girl to the bar with you so directly? Don’t you think it had zero chance of working?
Guy 2: Just a heat check. As long it doesn’t damage my chances at all with her in the future, it just checks to see if she might say yes to pure directness.

Heat Check Time 

in the sport of basketball, whenever a player makes 3 consecutive baskets from down town (3 3pointers) he/she has entered what is known as Heat Check Time. Heat Check Time entitles that specific player to the right of shooting the ball from anywhere and not be called a ball hog.

wow Vince just made 3 threes in a row... "HEAT CHECK TIME". "everyone pass it to him" ... (Vince then continues the streak to 7 in a row because of HEAT CHECK TIME)
