It's 12 Districts in the greater city of Atlanta. There are always 12 officers on patrol at all times in each district and each officer works 12 hour shifts! That why ATL says "12" when referring to police.
Put the blunt down! 12 just hit the block!

The phrase "12", is commonly used at the end of a conversation or discussion to approve the point made by the other person.

Simply saying "12" can also be used for a question, which response you are not familiarised with.

It is compulsory for both individuals to 'dab up', after saying "12".

For example:
1.

Friend 1: Yoooo, Donda is lowkey ass.

Friend 2: Haha, yuh, 12...
('Dabs up with friend')

2.

Friend 1: Bro, where tf is the Eiffel tower at?
Friend 2: Haha....bro......uhhh.....12....haha
Friend 1: haha....same
('dabs up with friend')

1 - ADAM - 12 is the number of the car the fucking police drove in an old ass 60's tv show. When we trap and the fucking police come round we holler 12, cause motherfuckers did on the show. It means that the fucking police are coming around.
