A car passes another car, the killer opens fire through the window (preferably with a submachine gun), eliminates the target and makes off at high speed.
Also known as: A Tupac.
Dude 1: Hey man, there was a drive-by in my hood today.
Dude 2: Wtf, how's the victim?
Dude 1: He's dead, of course. He really got Tupacked.
What happens when rival negro gangs meet in the ghettos of the inner city. Usually, the gang commiting the drive by willw wield weapons such as glocks and 9s which are aimed(I use the term loosely as "gangstas" hold these weapons sideways which undermines the weapon's accuracy) out of inexpensive 1980s cars with flashy, chrome rims.
"Nigga, we tore up dem muthafucking crips last night wit dat drive-by."
When you don't hear back from a recruiter on LinkedIn, but you already attempted following with them up over email, so instead you make a couple of virtual 'drive-by' visits to their profile and it notifies them each time that you viewed their profile.
Eric: I haven't heard back from that World Bank recruiter in a few weeks... It's about time we drive-by and see what's up.
Sarah: Sounds good, I'll grab my butter sock and my harpoon gun.
Recruiter: Aw shoot, Eric drove by my LinkedIn three times this afternoon; I really need to tell him that we went with the other candidate!
