fronting

Trying to pass yourself off as something you are not.

Sometimes mistakenly seen as an aspect of "fake it until you make it". The fronter, however, will never be able to "make it".

Youlanda talked like a manager, but anyone could easily see that she was fronting, and was actually a hopeless and total incompetent.

front

The act of acting like you are somebody else.

To think and act like you are a badass when you are not.

To get in somebody's face.

"Don't front motherfucker!"

fronts

Gold teeth, or caps which originated in Brooklyn/Queens NYC back in the late 70's early 80s. Then B-more picked it up, now the Dirty South is rocking Fronts.

Gold fronts started in NY. Bust the old school spitage:

"I got Gold teeth and they don't chew beef" Big Daddy Kane Young Gifted and Black 1989
