Wall Street

A place of opportunity, a place of death.

I would love to work on Wall Street someday.

street fight

Usually a one on one fight where anything goes you can use any type of fighting style whether it is a martial art or just plain boxing and wrestling. You can use knives,samurai swords,bats,beer bottles,etc anything you can get your hands on. The fight usually ends if someone dies,gives up or just passes out.

One of my buddies was in a street fight and kicked the guys ass. He slapped the guys hat off and then when the guy tryed to pick it up, my buddy kicked him rite in the face knocking him out in one blow.

Wall Street Fuck

A person who works in the financial industry and creates fictitious reports or spreads false rumors so as to cause volatile price swings in a security in order to profit from shorting or purchasing the security. A Wall Street Fuck will also use phrases like "smart money" or "bifurcation" to create a false sense of urgency and self aggrandizement.

Wall Street Fuck: "Our charts show that the smart money is now purchasing gold as a bifurcation trade against the weak dollar and rising inflation expectations."

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

My favourite song by Radiohead. It's been my favourite for so many years now =)
Probably their most 'depressing' (for want of a better word) song. I'm gonna stop talking about it and let Thom Yorke say a little about his own song.

With regards to Street Spirit:

"'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it.... It wrote itself. We were just its messengers... Its biological catalysts. Its core is a complete mystery to me... and (pause) you know, I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless... All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve... 'Street Spirit' has no resolve... It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song... It's called detachment... Especially me.. I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it... I'd crack. I'd break down on stage.. that's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning... I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together... That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'.. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion... (pause) I'd crack.... Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to.. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the fucking devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh...and it's real...and true. The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. I can't believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with that song... That's why I'm convinced that they don't know what it's about. It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart.

I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. (very long pause). I didn't write that song."

That song evokes a feeling in me i can't describe, it will always be my favourite radiohead song.
See below for full lyrics.

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things are one to swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things are one to swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

streets behind

Uncool or unhip; behind the times. As seen on the TV show "Community."

Pierce: "Streets ahead" is verbal wildfire.
Annie: Does it just mean "cool," or is it supposed to be like "miles ahead?"
Pierce: *sigh* If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

street theater

A manufactured commotion meant to distract.

Well, officer, there was a little street theater, and when I looked down, my bag was gone.

Professional Streets Nigga

A niggafied citizen, preferably in Detroit who is exceedingly good in the profession of street, like illegally selling narcotics to his so called "brothers", shooting other niggafied citizens and saying the word "nigga" repeatedly.
