Wolf Tickets-

Popularized by Tom Waits in the song "Troubles Braids"

- Tom Waits (1988): "Another one I like is wolf tickets, which means bad news, as in someone who is bad news or generally insubordinate. In a sentence, you'd say, "Don't fuck with me, I'm passing out wolf tickets." Think it's either Baltimore Negro or turn-of-the-century railroad use." (Source: "Tom Waits 20 questions". Playboy magazine)

Tom Waits is one smooth wordsmith.

wolf tickets

Prison slang for aggressive taunting. The Cabbie Homicide's writer as a teenager did a very dark form of this as he chronicled in An Eye In Shadows as he was able to also back it up too. Kealan Patrick Burke in the response of getting freight-trained had pulled a response like this. And this is his actual e-mail where he was challenging the controversial author to a fight -- "Why don't you ask Bram the Talking Wonder Dog about The Cabbie Homicide" is easy the taunt of the 2010s as it had him reminded of old shame. On twitter the war between them had exchanges of ethnic slurs toward Irish and ethnic slurs towards Italians as guinea was thrown as Taig was used on the wordpress blog and the tumblr had the tag "Bog Irish Pig." He did a Blurb in Italian to Burke where he implied Burke was queerbait.

Twitter is ground zero for selling wolf tickets as sometimes one comes across a cell-block warrior. Selling wolf tickets sometimes includes ethnic slurs, donut-puncher slurs, and some pull out racist remarks.
