The Compound is just like The Tank , except it isn't county jail. The difference is that its a prison cell at a maximum security state penitentiary.
Mah niggah LiL BoY from LHTS did 5 years in the compound in Iron Wood state penitentiary of Blythe California for shooting a dyke in the face for snitchin'.

Most native English speakers don't give compound words much thought...because we're so overly familiar with them in every day speech. However...Compound words are a great testament to how bizarre (and often hilarious) the English language can be.
Like think about the distinct departure in meaning between say: kidnapping vs. kid napping or one nightstand vs. one night stand, Or what about how we decided to define generational age with words like "Grand" or "Great?" (I.E. Great-Great-Grandparent). We all know there's nothing grand about aging itself, and not everyone's grandparents qualify as "grand" either. "Hot dog" is another little adventure.
There is so much about the world that's wonderful and weird sitting in front of us, but we miss out because we don't pay attention to what's overly familiar.

Get the compound mug.Doing things out of order - prioritizing the wrong aspect of a project or equation. A variation of “putting the cart before the horse”.
Max was really putting the cult before the compound when he bought a new suit to wear at my wedding before I even invited him.
Jimmy really put the cult before the compound when he bought a German Shepard with huge balls that pisses inside before he bought a house with a yard.
