Cold Lampin

Standing on the sidewalk with your friends under the street light. Not doing anything but leaning against the lamp post. Absolute meaning of this term in the early-1980s.

Powering DJ equipment by the lamp wires did happen, but is not “doing nothing” which lampin represents.

The use of “cold” is like “being cool.” It doesn’t refer to temperature at all. In the early 1980s you could say, “I was cold walking down the street when she came up to my face and dissed me.” Cold, meaning, disconnected, unaffected, cool as a cucumber, not involved in drama, etc.

I was cold chillin, doing my homework before class when…

Cold Lampin should not have any confusion, it means you and your friends were doing nothing but standing under a street light in the dark

We were outside, cold Lampin, when a car drove up with that bumpin bass
