Thug

"Truly. Humbled. Under. God."

This how the word "thug" was defined by Jeffrey Willams' (better well known professionally as "Young Thug") defense attorney, Brian Steel, during Mr. Steel's opening statement on day 1 of the Young Thug YSL RICO Trial. In the same opening statement, Mr. Steel also noted that Jeffrey's use of the word "thug" in his chosen professional name of "Young Thug" should NOT be confused with what one would typically associate with the word after it was popularized by late rapper Tupac through his iconic album, "Thug Life, Volume 1".
"Most people think of a 'thug' as a criminal. But to Jeffrey, 'thug' had a different meaning . . . it meant something very personal. It was Jeffrey's pact that if he ever made it as a musical artist and could help as many others out of this endless cycle of hopelessness, he would be: Truly. Humbled. Under. God. That's what 'Thug' means."

Thug

Racial dog whistle, coded language for associating black men with violent crime.
Most often used for any black male who gets brutalized and/or killed by the police.
Guaranteed to be in the comments section for any such publicized news story.

PS, I expect this answer to get ratio'd by those who can't handle the truth.
That thug got what he deserved when the police beat then shot him. Bet he gets a statue. Next time, don't resist.
Say what you really mean. Fucking racist.

OAP Church Thugs

A gang of elderly women, with big slab heads who bully others so that they are afraid to attend church functions. Intimidation tactics include slander, text messages sent to recipients either too early in the morning or too late at night to cause distress and sometimes outright shouting and shoving matches, always in view of the public in order to assert dominance.
"Margaret Beetson and crew are such OAP Church Thugs. They flat out refused to accept Barbara's cakes for the church bake-off comp.
