Street 'Surance is health insurance sold to the poorest sectors of American society, often door-to-door. Such policies are often worthless, the payout ratio being notoriously low. Most such companies engaged in this activity operate outside normal perameters and many are straightforwardly illegal. The pejorative use of the word 'Surance' refers to how the word Insurance may be pronounced by low income families, at whom such policies are targeted.
One of the best dramatized examples of Street 'Surance in modern culture is in the Matt Damon/Danny De Vito film 'Rainmaker', based on the novel by John Grisham, in which a young man with terminal cancer dies because the his "insurance policy" will not pay out. Unsurprisingly, the "Insurance company" is merely a Ponzi scheme and has been looted by the proprietor. The film revolves around a court case brought by the posthumous claimant (and his parents).

Get the Street puddingmug. Kind of like a regular pigeon, but born & raised in the city. You can find a street pigeon posted up in a random alley or just walking down the main strip. A street pigeon is tougher than your average pigeon because he's seen some shit. It is not in your best interest to ever make eye contact with a street pigeon, as it will feel provoked.
You see that street pigeon over there eating a cigarette butt like he don't even care?! These street pigeons be out here just trying to get a crumb.

Get the fleek streetmug. Similar to facebook stalking, but in relation to buildings, street-creeping is looking for a building on google maps and using the street view option.
Examples:
My friend is street-creeping the houses she's considering renting.
I heard that there's a stalker who street-creeps places regularly.
