1. A word many stupid people seem to think means 'things' or 'life' but in fact is entirely related to prostitution, IE, the act of selling ones sexual favors for money. Anyone who pretends otherwise is A, stupid, B, a wigger, C, deliberately offensive, or D, a crackbaby, probably the result of someone turning tricks.
2. Stunts or performances of challenging nature designed to impress people.
"Did you see Johns new skateboard trick where he slides down the stairs on his head?"
"Well, yeah, but John's mom turned tricks to conceive him"
THE best book you will ever read in your life, by Ellen Hopkins. Should be read by anyone 14 and up. This book is about five different kids' journeys and how they all end up in Vegas trying to survive by performing "tricks" that are taking their selves away from them and replacing them with dirty, filthy prostitutes that they don't want to be.
Altogether an amazing, but horrifyingly real story about 5 young, terrified kids stuck in Sin City with no way to get out.
Girl: I'm looking for a book as addicting as heroin, but actually real so I will finish it knowing things I've never even thought about before.
Me: Girl, you are talking about Tricks.
