Bling Sting

Bling Sting: A sting operation on your bling a situation where your flashy, ostentatious jewelry or "bling" backfires. It can occur in several ways: first, when returning from abroad, customs and excise heavily tax or confiscate your bling, especially if not declared. Second, flaunting your bling in public and on social media can lead to robbery and loss. Third, if your bling is acquired through criminal activities, such as drug dealing, authorities can seize it under forfeiture laws. Additionally, spending large amounts of cash on bling can alert authorities to potential money laundering, further linking your bling to criminal activities. Moreover, some luxury watches, like Richard Mills, can be confiscated by the store when taken in for service or repair if the store suspects them to be counterfeit. Additionally, there have been instances where a rapper’s chain was confiscated because authorities mistook it for a weapon, like a small knife. Also, getting scammed by counterfeit jewelry, like fake gold or diamonds, can contribute to the bling sting. In essence, a bling sting really does hurt, deflating one’s ego and can really hurt like a real life sting it can be on of the worst pains ever to.

Gibson sting

When a person hurts themselves by touching the string tree of a Gibson guitar the wrong way, most times on accident. It results from the bit of strings sticking out from the trees which can puncture the skin—almost like a needle due to how sharp and stiff it is.

Usually will result in a bit of bleeding or potentially tetanus if the strings are rusty.

Person 1: Ouch, something on the Les Paul headstock just jabbed my finger and now I’m bleeding!

Person 2: Must’ve been the Gibson sting.
