streets of rage

Featured an evil ninja called Shiva, which was playable on SOR3.

Shiva was the strongest character in the game you could play as by a long shot, and the coolest.

Shiva slaughtered the punk with his 'Final Crash' move.

street wise

I became street wise while hitchhiking the US after graduating from college in the late '70's. Learned plenty from people I met, and here's my resulting definition:

Street wise people are aware of their surroundings and nearby people, sense and avoid walking in places of high risk, and proceed out of them with a confident stride.

Being street wise, Mike notices risky areas by tip offs such as use of razor wire, cameras, and graffiti. He avoids walking too close to hiding places alongside buildings or other areas when in marginal or dangerous areas.

word on the street

information or gossip derived from sources outside mainstream society, usually judged as more reliable by the criminal underclass and mafiosi/gangster-types.

Carlo Bartolucci: That phone call I got, it came from outside high walls and fancy gates; it comes from a place you know about maybe from the movies. But I come from out there, and everybody out there knows, everybody lies: cops lie, newspapers lie, parent's lyin'. The one thing you can count on - word on the street... yeah, that's solid.

Street Chicken

noun - Winged, city-dwelling dirty-birdy; also known as a PIGEON to the majority of the USA.

The Street Chicken is often shunned and avoided by most of us, most likely because of its tendency to live in rather filthy and seemingly plague-ridden conditions. Alternately, within the transient/homeless population of dense urban areas, they are considered to be quite the fine delicacy.

Hobo Moe: Hey Jack! I ain't been able ta squeeze no cash from these pancakin' rich folks 'round here n' I'm hongry.. Whatcha say we go......huntin'?

Hobo Joe: nnnnrrrratchet!! nnnrrrrBALLS!!! Ahh, yeah I'm witcha on that. I got mah huntin' gear right 'ere. nnnnrrrflakjacket!!

(Hobo Joe pulls a long, strangely twisted wire-hanger from a large drawstring bag; the end of the hanger is twisted into a small loop, probably so as to catch a fleeing street chicken by the neck)

Hobo Moe: Okay buddy, I got mine, too. Let's get to it; I can already taste it! And I already got us some Street Seasoning.

Hobo Joe: Oh me too! Over at the In 'n Out lot nnnnrrrcrchalkfinger!!! Hey I see a flock of 'em right over there; LET'S GET 'EM nnnrrrrrCRAPCAKES!!!

Hobo Moe: AAAAAHHHHH! (charging the flock)

Hobo Joe: homina homina homina woob woob woob nyuck nyuck nyooooo.....

Street Sweeper

Contrary to popular belief, a "street-sweeper" is not just a large-capacity compact shotgun; the term also includes most automatic compact firearms as well (Ex: Uzi, MAC-10, Ak-47, etc). The term "street-sweeper" was given to these weapons because they are capable of spraying an alley or narrow street in one "sweep" (usually without even releasing the trigger or changing clips).

"...and if it's major,
hit me on my pager,
I'll load up the creeper,
and pop a clip into this Street Sweeper!"

street leet

Also known as str33t 1337. In the early days, leet speak was a form of expression to prevent others from understanding certain texts written by crackers. Over the years, it has become a "hip" way of speaking, and more recently has been adopted by the e-gangsta community as the ultimate form of language bastardization known to mankind. Street leet is the translation of regular street language into leet speak, giving the user a sense that he is not only "gangsta" but also appeals to the nerd-dom of the internet.

Unfortunately, this is the single hardest language to understand, as street language often uses made-up words or even unrelated words to refer to a specific action or object and leet speak turns this already semi-fictional speech into a combination of letters, numbers and available keyboard symbols to make up the already barely discernable meaning of the text or sentence in question.

"Y() th335 B33Ch b3 al1 up 1n /\/\4h GrI11z, 51pP1N 0N 173 DR-1nK, G!" is an example of Street Leet.
