Tag Bangers

A crew of 15–20 homies who mark their block with a signature tag, symbol, or code. Some move like full street crews, others “tag bang” for reputation, sometimes even claiming loose ties to bigger gangs like the Crips, Bloods, or Sureños.
Most keep it about wall work over heavy violence—but respect still counts. It takes guts to tag and defend your name, even when bigger sets press.
Tag bangers are like entry-level gang bangers—mostly paint over pistols, but don’t test ‘em. Some will still prove a point.

Combination of the words "tagger" and "gangbanger". A new subculture that has developed mainly in southern California. Not really considered writers, they tag, never piece, and almost never do throwups. Often they carry guns and bear more than slight resemblance to gangs. Not really considered to be true writers by writers, but are mostly considered a hinderance and a negative influence on a creative writing and piecing scene.
if you live in los angeles then most people in a crew are tagbangers. they tag their crew name and their writing name and slash out other crews and people and hit up people looking for them and fight with them or the crew depending on who slashed what or sometimes may even shoot the enemy crew even if they didnt slash them out but because their crew slashed out him or his crew.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
