graffiti

The visual personifacation of hip-hop. despite what most of the ill-informed probably middle-aged suburban white people think, graffiti is only limited to stickers (postals), tags (done with pilots, flowpen, krink, homemade markers, etc.), throw ups (aslo called throwies, and done in paint. they are usually just stylized bubble letters of the writters name with 3d or drop shadow), pieces (short for masterpieces, and also known as burners, these range from relativly simple, to intricate and complex designs, a style known as wildstyle. these pieces take hours to do and are considered the highest level of graffiti), and finaly charachters (cartoonish representations of the writters alter ego). Graffiti should not be confused with vandalism, which is instead crude marking or destruction, the aim of which is to cause damage to property, regardless of aethetic appeal. graffiti is just the opposite. IF GRAFFITI WASNT ART, THEN WHY WOULD WRITTERS SPEND HOURS AND HOURS SKETCHING AND PRACTICING IN SKETCHBOOKS? also, there are things that are considered off limits and non ethical, and are not to be touched. some of these things include
residential property (unless its the house of a writter that you know personally and have beef with)
churches or places of worship
cemeteries
cars (unless obviously abandoned)
These are only the basics and different writters may restrict themselves from other things.
Graffiti is 90% of the time NOT GANG RELATED. gangs, however, are not to be confused with crews. crews are a group of writters. thats it. theres no drugs or crime (othere than graffiti) involved with the crew. crews usually have initiations like tagging a police car, or getting up in an open space etc. crew names are usually three letter abbreviations like DFM, or PCK etc.
Again, the motivation for graffiti IS NEVER VANDALISM. if that is the motive, then it simply isnt graffiti. motivation varies from writter to writter, but is usually
respect as a writter
fame
to see his own work
This is achieved by getting up. getting up is the act of getting your work up around the city. if you get up enough, your considered to be "all city", but this hardly happens. also, your art and style speaks for your reputation. for example, if your handstyle is wack, or your throwies drip (unintentionaly), or you go over better writters for no reason (no beef with them) then you may be considered toy. toy stands for Trouble On Your System, and is the lowest form of graffiti writter.
Graffiti doesnt have messages, unless its some kind of side quote next to a piece. messages of anarchy and rebellion are considered vandalism.
Stay up y'all.

Graffenburg Spot

Within the Vagina, up and up and in. An area normally dormant in a female that requires careful stimulation and minipulation for 1 to 2 hours and possibly longer. One that increases in temperature and firmness with manipulation and eventually a relaxing of the vaginal wall during intercourse thereby causing a false sense of orgasm. The careful concentration of sexual drive completes this faux orgasm and the spasm ultimate occurs and the finality of female pleasure is achieved -- often accompanied by partner fulfillment.
Impressively, the orgasm occurred after understanding and responding to her G-Spot. The Graffenburg location -- long believed a myth, was, in fact, under my control! My uneducated, yet rapidly accellerated prowess had excited the very thing I believed not to exist -- The Graffenburg Spot!

Goffstown

A small town outside of Manchester, New Hampshire. This town consists of several places of interest, that are actually 100% uninteresting. You can go to Cumberland Farms, or go to the local pizza place "Viksters". But the real treasure of Goffstown lies in the High School. GHS consists of several groups of people, but basically just 3 groups. Group on consists of people that drive TRUCKS, with huge TIRES. The next group consists largely of kids that wear skinny jeans, have long hair, and cut themselves for fun. Group 3 contains a large number of kids that smoke the weed. If you're saying to yourself, "I'm not in any of those groups.", Think again.
"Hey want to go to Goffstown and hang out at the skatepark?"

"No."

Geoffinately

More definate than definate.
A promise or oath to do something 100%, without doubt.
Only death or similar will prevent this from happening.
Not to be confused with definately.
"I will geoffinately be in the pub on Friday."
Translation: "I will be in the pub on Friday night without a doubt and the only thing that would stop me would dieing beforehand or if the pub exploded."
