Someone that reps all the gangs, and throws up gang signs left and right, when she/ (or mostly) he doesn't know anything about the gang, what he's doing, and is very disrespectful. You might know a fake thug, so let them know it's dangerous to do stuff like that, and if they haven't been jumped or the gang doesn't know them, their life is at stake.
