street credibility

Wörtlich "Straßenglaubwürdigkeit", meint, dass jemand mit einer hohen "street credibility" (abgekürzt "street cred") nicht in einer wohlbehaltenen geschützten reichen Umgebung aufgewachsen ist, sondern "von der Straße kommt", also aus der Unterschicht, Arbeiterklasse in ärmeren Gebieten mit erhöhter Kriminalität, dabei auch selbst oftmals kleinkriminell. Dagegen eine niedrige oder keine "street cred" gilt für Kinder reicherer Eltern des Bürgertums, gute Schulbildung, z.T. Privatschulen.

street team

Street teams are devices used by bands to get kids who enjoy their music to promote them at gigs and give out random flyers and stickers and stuff.

Basically this entails you signing a contract stating that you become their bitch, and one becomes the band's pack mule for all their dirty work.
Anybody who gets roped into a band's street team is gullible/unemployed.

bourbon street

The biggest party street in the US. (home to mardi gras). A perfect place for people to get smashed and see boobs.

It's also home to many homosexuals around labor day.

You also see a lot of girls gone wild cameras.

It also is never pronounced right. Its said bore-boghn not bur-ban street. Its named after the royal family of France that ruled for over 300 years and without which we would still be paying our taxes to England.
"Yo lets go get drunk & see some girls tits on "'burban street'."

"I can't wait untill southern decadence starts so i can wear my rainbow pants down on bourbon street."

Street Lexicographer

Someone who has successfully defined a term that has been accepted by the mahatma's a urbanditionary.com
Both myself and my friend James have entries in the Urban Dictionary. This makes us BOTH "Street Lexicographers". A high honor in some circles. A dubious one in others.

Street Family

Street family culture derives from homeless youth. Often times disabled homeless youth, or just youth that no one cares about. In some places, street family members grow into adults and stay in the family.

What can you do, when you are young, and no one cares about you? Children tend to have very active imagination, children like to play house.

A street family is a pretentious family created by children not being protected.

It isn't necessarily violent, but there is often drama, as drama comes with poverty.

Street families tend to disregard traditional family roles. In fact, in some cases, that includes having nonsensical roles, like the street mom's street brother being also the street brother of the street mom's street son.

Street family members tend to be extremely vulnerable leading to victimization, which includes police misconduct.

The tone varries, but street family members are easily replaceable to the outside world, however, if they were conditional towards each other, they wouldn't last.

In this hypothetical street family, it lasted more than 10 years. Billy is 23, being one of the youngest, he joined at 14, with ODD and being abused after getting abandoned.
Billy has been stabbed in the back lots of times by his street family, but he stays because it's his security.
They are afraid, held together by fight or flight. The entire point is to pretend that there is stability where there is none.
Bitzy is my street mom in my street family. We kinda just vibe.
