gangbusters

Gang Busters was a famous radio program that was first heard in 1936 and aired until 1957. The sound effects of police sirens, tommyguns, and screeching tires that opened the show were dramatic and exciting -- this inspired the expression 'coming on like gangbusters'.
Usage has opened up to describe things that are not just exciting, but successful, intense, and many other adjectives, and many drop the 'coming on like' prefix. I think we should be more careful about how we use it, and keep it true to its origin -- something that starts with much excitement and drama is 'coming on like gangbusters'.

The act of being an awesome person; a "angel" gangsta. Wangsters... are not included. Gangstah's are classified as a higher class then gangstas. They usually pertain to a high iq but still has a likeness of a gangsta. Though they dissuade criminal acts and do caring, respectful, responsible, and honest acts. Many still have childish dreams such as dino riders, or being a samurai of such. Thought to be amazing within inner circle. A gangstah always uses awesome slang terms, like SST, and follows the teachings of the how to be Gangster video by nigahiga on youtube (quite queer at the least).
