ring in

Gang term - person or persons (usualy friends or people from another gang) that are called to help in gang wars/fights

They are called this because they are usaualy phoned just before or during a fight so they arive late and catch the rival gangs by surprize
A Famous case of this was in the fitzroy gardens when The Fitzroy Boyz were fighting SnK and the fitzroy boyz were getting smashed then the ring ins turned up with macchetees, samaurias and knives. A member from SnK had is arm chopped off and then they ran this resulted in a massive change of turf in melbourne.

Get In The Ring

The most in your face, epic rock song ever, written by Guns N' Roses. It speaks of how the glam celebrity writers sell their souls and lie to make money off of the public.
This song was not well recieved by the media, but real Gunners fuckin loved it.
Mick Wall at Kerang!: Guns N' Roses are a bunch of stupid pussies.

Duff and Axl: Get In the ring mother fucker, and we'll kick your bitchy little ass, PUNK.

Mick: I gotta go masterbate to my mothers training bras. Bye!

Roger: Boy, that sure was uncomfortable at the holiday gathering yesterday.

Harvey: Not sure what you mean ?

Roger: Lots of conversations and perceived slights henceforth to cry and whine about.

Harvey: Sorry, I had to take a leak every time I heard one start, or get more food.

Roger: Good move. You don't have to throw your hat in the ring then.
Harvey: I block numbers after these get together's for a while. It's great.
