Like a throw up, Lay ups, or lays, are graffiti consisting
of 2+ colors in a bubble or stretched format on freight cars/the infamous NYC Subway/Transit System. Burning and
bombing can both be associated with laying up, since a burner
may lay a work from top to bottom, wall to wall (Top of the car to bottom, left side of the face to right), and then a bomber may lay up OVER the burner's work--

May also be called L'in or L'ed

Famous Layup/Throwie Artists from NYC include Tracy 168, MIN, SEEN, SKEME, etc.
Writer1:"LagooN Ave Burners just L'ed up (layed up) our line!"
Writer2:"Well, we best get L'in all over it then!"

W2:"I got some outties (outlines) for you, lay up!"

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
