Street 'Surance

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).

Street Midget

A short person who Knows What Time It Is

"The muthafucka was a little guy -- a midget -- so he knew how to talk shit. Havin' been in the streets, he was a Street Midget. He wasn't no Square Midget. He was a Street Midget. He knew some Midget Shit."

Cornelia Street

The best song on Taylor Swift’s album ‘Lover’. It can be interpreted in many ways but to put it simply it’s for the girls who say they are done but continue to go back. The girls that know true heartbreak in a love that was once good.

“what’s the best T-Swizzle song?”

“Cornelia Street.”

street smoke

When someone attempts to quit, but can't seem to kick the habit. Instead, they either hide or find cigarettes on the street to puff when no one is looking.

I told the crew I had to make a call, but really I was taking a drag of that street smoke.

Street dog

A street dog is an athlete that hasn’t had the classical training that others receive. Street dogs might not have the technical skill, but there isn’t one athlete that will out work them. Street dogs work like their lives depend on it. They grind day in and day out. A street dog is dangerous because they have NOTHING to lose.

“I only recruit street dogs...ain’t no store bought dogs out here.” - Geno Auriemma
