A flashmob is when a large group of people suddenly come together and perform some sort of action, which draws an audience very quickly. After they perform the stunt, the group of people quickly disperse.
Shay Carl, Kassem G, Lisanova, hiimrawn, mysteryguitarman, denisevlogs, and other people came together at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino to perform a huge flashmob. It is one of the best flashmobs on YouTube. The video is called "PHAMOUS PLANET HOLLYWOOD FLASH MOB!", uploaded on ShayCarl's channel.

Flashmob Sale

Unsanctioned, crowd-sourced 100% off sales on high-fashion clothing, handbags and accessories at stores such as Nordstrum and Neiman Marcus. Commonly referenced in mainstream media as "Grab-and-run robberies" or "organized retail theft," Flashmob Sales generally involve the redistribution of symbols of capitalist wealth in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars, taken from icons of retail excess and redistributed to those in need of a fashion upgrade for the holidays.

Rumored to be inspired by the Bob Dylan lyric, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king," the proponents of Flashmob Sales are under the apparent belief that if enough people steal a ton of items all at once, the internet will cheer them on and the police will simply go back to finding unarmed civilians to shoot for sport.

Facebook Flashmob 

In a collective effort, facebook friends of one person steal and adopt his/her profile picture, and each tag the original owner in their new pic. Then the group then likes and comments on everyone's new profile pic, ensuring a barrage of notifications for the target person. Works much better if the adopted picture is in any way scandalous.

Flash Mob 

A term used by inner-city youth, usually in a gang and oftentimes African-American. Describes a quick, spontaneous shooting (hence 'flash') of an individual (or perhaps of a small group) by a gang of African-Americans (hence 'mob.')

The term 'flash mob' originated as some kind of strange gimmick where net-savvy nerds met in a public place to do something ridiculous, then quickly disperse.

However, 'flash mob' has gone from being something to laugh at to something to fear. Five or six blacks (or occasionally Mexicans, Asians or even white trash) with guns will jump a rival gang member, someone they have beef with, or even a random person, usually in a dark alley or parking lot, shout "flash mob!" and just open fire. A flash mob could also be a drive-by shooting where there are several shooters.
