An acronym for Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums. It is a police squad unit originally created by the LAPD as a way to break the infrastructure of crime in the ghettos. It turns out leadership of these CRASH teams became corrupt, and even the most decorated officers were guilty of killing other cops, selling and using crack, and planting weapons and drugs in order to frame innocents. The origins of the CRASH lead back into the fifties, when J. Edgar Hoover ran the FBI, and as sneak attacks before dawn and after midnight would claim the lives of many black leaders, and eventually the Black Panthers and rappers like Tupac Shakur. CRASH disbanded officially circa 2001, but very similar units exist across the US in other departments.
Many CRASH cases are still unsolved, and the LAPD is imfamous for hiding any inciminating files.

It is suspected that the shooting and murder of Biggie Smalls in LA in 1997 was set up by a local CRASH unit with help from the LA bloods.

Get the C.R.A.S.H. mug.The most common forms of bigotry, discrimination, prejudice, and persecution (particularly on biologically-related grounds) summed up into a single spectrum.
T.R.A.S.H. is an acronym for:
T ransphobia
R acism
A bleism
S exism
H omophobia
If a person hosts either one of these forms of hatred or discrimination, then they fall into the T.R.A.S.H. spectrum. In other words, they are T.R.A.S.H.
The meaning of T.R.A.S.H., however, can also be manipulated so that it can hold a wider spectrum of hatred (ex. Sexism/Speciesism/Sexual-Prejudice, Homophobia/Heterophobia, Racism/Religious-Prejudice, Ableism/Antisemitism/Ageism, etc).
The word can also be spelled "TRASH" or just "trash", which although can obscure it's true meaning, may still have the same results and can make it an innuendo.
Different variants of T.R.A.S.H. include:
- T.R.A.S.H. CAN
- T.R.A.S.H.C.A.N. (C.A.N. meaning Classism And National-Prejudice)
- S.T.A.R.C.H.: The same as T.R.A.S.H. except Classism is added. Variants of this include "Potato", "Carb", "Bad Carb", and "Empty Carb", which can be used as a play on words.
- TRASHy
- STARCHy

I might be gay, but at least I'm not T.R.A.S.H.
It's unfortunate how many people are still T.R.A.S.H. to this day.
You sound pretty TRASHy right now.
The TRASHiness here is insane!
