Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

An epidemic of fear and paranoia in reference to an episode of The Twilight Zone of the same name. The episode is about a hypothetical alien invasion.

The host of Pod Save America used the expression in reference to a Chinese spy balloon and the hysterics that followed.
"The Chinese send a balloon over here and we all go crazy! It’s a real Monsters Are Due On Maple Street vibe."

Street Crew

A small squad (3–50 people) holding it down in a neighborhood, usually running some type of crime—from tagging walls and petty theft to bigger moves. They roll under a shared name, symbols, and history, sometimes repping bigger gangs like the Crips or Bloods. Not always violent, but always claiming their turf.

“Don’t step on their block—they ain’t huge, but that street crew got respect in the hood.”—Local from the Hood

Street surfing

Another word for hydroplaning. When you drive too fast in wet conditions, and basically water on the ground takes control of your tires.

Yo! Did you see that? That dude over there was just street surfing and crashed into that pole!

street illegal

We call street illegal a car, or some "special parts" whitch are not allowed to run in the public streets because either they are powerfull enough or may cause a lot of accidents.

some Civics are street illegal cause they can reach 10.000 f@cking rpm in about 15 f@cking seconds.Not to talk about the sounds they make at midnights cause these drivers are living with this Quote: If i pay 3$ for every litter of gas..you should hear it all...

Baby in the street

When an physical opponent is over matched and in danger of bodily harm.

The big power forward is being guarded by the small point guard in the paint. There’s a baby in the street.

Or, get your baby off the street

Keep running your mouth son! Someone tell this mutherfuckers momma to get her baby off the street!
