Took 3–5 to the Tropics

A satirical, symbolic phrase meaning someone “passed away,” but with the deeper cultural twist that they didn’t really die — they “took $35,000 to the tropics” and are living peacefully in paradise.

The “3–5” represents $35,000, the amount of money believed to be enough to disappear and live comfortably in Cuba or another tropical place, inspired by fan theories about artists like Tupac not being dead but is currently living comfortably in Cuba.

A term of endearment meant to signify that your loved one isn't gone, but that they live comfortably in paradise and forever in your heart.
Bro, what happened to ya boy?... Oh, Fam Took 3-5 to the Tropics...

5 finger necklace

When your partner places their hand around your neck. Gripping firmly, however, NOT choking. No direct pressure is placed on carotids, nor the windpipe. Often it is used as a way of showing dominance or ownership without injury, often in a non-sexual situation. 5 finger necklace can also be used in a sexual manner during the interaction as a way of engaging the mastered or prey drive of the individual.
