The situation when someone is accidentally or intentionally exposing (showing) colors from their clothing that relate to a gang 'color' causing alarm or suspicion from anyone that notices, especially authorities such as the police.
Young individual walking in the mall wearing all blue: hey why the hell are you questioning and searching me as if I'm carrying any weapons?! What is this the gestapo, I thought this was a free country, I could wear whatever the hell I want!
Two undercover cops: well there's been a gang stabbing here earlier and you were 'flashing colors' (wearing all blue).

Get the flashing colorsmug. A term used by inner-city youth, usually in a gang and oftentimes African-American. Describes a quick, spontaneous shooting (hence 'flash') of an individual (or perhaps of a small group) by a gang of African-Americans (hence 'mob.')
The term 'flash mob' originated as some kind of strange gimmick where net-savvy nerds met in a public place to do something ridiculous, then quickly disperse.
However, 'flash mob' has gone from being something to laugh at to something to fear. Five or six blacks (or occasionally Mexicans, Asians or even white trash) with guns will jump a rival gang member, someone they have beef with, or even a random person, usually in a dark alley or parking lot, shout "flash mob!" and just open fire. A flash mob could also be a drive-by shooting where there are several shooters.

Get the Flash Mobmug. The act of sharing ones blood while high on heroin with another to get them high. If one junkie has used and the other has no heroin, the one who is high will draw their blood into a syringe and inject the non-holding junkie with the blood to get them high. A new practice that will spark the spread of aids and hepatitis like wildfire.

Get the flash bloodmug. Online games that every early-mid 2000's kid grew up playing. Unfortunately, they won't be able to play them anymore in December since Chrome is going to stop supporting flash :(

Get the Flash Gamesmug. The client gave us feedback that the new corporate video was dull. I told the editor to just add some flash and trash to impress the client and distract from the lack of meaningful story

Get the flashed for cashmug. A brief but drastic drop in the value of stocks; can be triggered by investor fears or simple human error (adding a few too many zeros to the end of your stock sell).
