Checks 

Checkered or two-tone clothing items and accessories, particularly in context of Ska music, and the Ska scene.

That rudeboy was in ska concert gear; he had all his checks on.

I'm going to a ska show tonight, so I need to pick up my checks.

Also known as a rebate, this is a confusing way to get someone to buy an item that is clearly selling for lower than it should be.

What does this mean... checks? Sir, it's a mail-in rebate.

checks 

A female, usually of the 'working' variety checking in with her keeper, or pimp, for the purpose of rewarding him monetarily.

It seems like all the bitches on Sunset Blvd make their checks in front of my apartment. There's always some fool screaming something about money.

Not to be confused with the payment method, Czech people, dictionary definitions, etc.

Checks are people who go around "just checking" to see if your door is unlocked. Some may also check windows or other lockable areas. They'll often do this on a routine basis in a given area.

Mostly they are bottom-tier, opportunistic burglars who, as soon as they realize your door is locked, will be gone and continue on to "check" the next one. Catching them relies on being able to notice and bait their pattern successfully.

Some may also be homeless, sex offenders, or otherwise fuckin weirdos, so it's really just best to keep your doors locked, this isn't the 1950's, people.

"Yo, is someone trying to open the door?"
"Wut?"
"I said someone just tried to get inside the fuckin' house!"
"Oh, those are just the Checks. Evening rounds, nothing to worry about. They're already gone."
