a guy that thinks hes tough, that chills, listen to rap and think hes a gangsta
A thug is someone who is gun toting, protects their block (for some reason) and treats bitches like their dirt. Slangs some coke and herion here and there.
I'm just kidding, I don't know for sure. Tupac called himself a thug, so, copy him and you'll be a thug! I guess. Hell I don't know what I'm saying.
Here you go nigga!!!!:glugglug:
Look, emos and thugs both equally suck.
Thugs should be out on another island with other thugs so they can all, "thug" it out
Emos should all just kill themselves and get it over with.
a thug is simple... an asshole who can't do nothin but bitch about everything and not respect other ppl and their opinions, someone who thinks they are OWED something for nothin for havin a shitty life, but guess what "thugs".... life's a bitch, get over it and do what my avatar says :D
That too. They always have someone to blame for all the violence, even though they are the ones creating it. Can you say, hypocrits...?Quote:

Thugs were an Indian(from India) tribe who would lure travellers into staying with them in their camps and then rob and murder them.
Thugs (alternately written "thugz"), in the hip-hop/gangsta rap sense, are persons who are ruthless and who will do whatever it takes to get ahead. The term also carries the connotation of living a rebellous life and being prone to operating outside the established status quo (particularly the law). Thugs share the same principles commonly associated with gang members: hip-hop-inspired thugs believe they are entitled to whatever they can get and keep through street cunning and force, having no moral compunction against theft from and robbery of those not known to them or part of their 'posse.' Loyalty to one's friends is a strong value among thugs, but if there are disagreements between two groups of thug friends, the two factions can behave in a way similar to rival gangs, even if they are not technically in a gang. Violence is applauded in the thug lifestyle, especially among middle-school and high-school aged thugs, and often in the form of "jumping" a victim, (several thugs attacking a single victim).
Thugs idealize Gangsta Rap and the idea being "cold" or unfeeling. "Cold-blooded killa" is a popular epithet in Gangsta Rap, and the ability to commit homicide without being emotionally affected is a trait that is generally highly respected by hip-hop-inspired thugs. Another similar epithet is "cop-killa," which, in addition to lauding the murder of a police officer, is used often as a reference to "Cop Killer", a 1992 rap song by Ice-T. Crime, especially homicide, theft, robbery, battery, assault, and drug trafficking, is idealized in thug culture, and often thugs who have been to prison are given respect and looked upon as "hard" (meaning both strong and emotionally callous when necessary). Great respect is given to those who, in general, disregard consequences for their actions; this is frequently regarded as a mark of strength. The thug sub-culture, although primarily derived from ideals espoused by African American gangsta rap and hip-hop artists, is not over-represented by African Americans. Additionally, many thugs are other minorities or whites who idealize the gangsta rap/hip hop scene.
Status symbols within the thug lifestyle include nice cars (known as "whips") and modifications to cars (e.g. "tricking out" or "pimping out"), heavy gold, silver, or platinum jewelry (known as "bling"), and in some cases, gold teeth and expensive hip-hop style clothes, especially those which are oriented towards basketball-playing and living an active lifestyle (although using this type of clothing to actually play sports is highly taboo in the thug community). Extraordinary wealth, usually attained by rapping, drug dealing, playing basketball, or (albeit rarely) some combination of all four, seems to be a universal thug aspiration. Emulating famous rappers, thugs normally strive to live in massive mansions that are usually modified to suit their tastes. Normal modifications include Home Theaters, huge swimming pools, and home recording studios. These houses normally also have garages to house a thug's massive fleet of expensive luxury vehicles. Popular brands among thugs include Bentley, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Rolls-Royce. Usually these automobiles are modified to have large, spinning rims, often encrusted with diamonds and being up to 30 inches in diameter. Thugs also tend to be huge fans of crunk, dirty south rap and many other types of rapping, the only precondition being that the lyrics be about wealth and living the thug lifestyle.
Other status symbols for thugs include tattoos, some of which are heavily symbolic, (e.g. tear drop tattoos on the face represent murders committed or family members who died while the individual was in prison), wounds/scars from fights (i.e. knife and bullet wounds), and prison time. Thug culture borrows heavily from prison culture, but as many members are ages 11 to 17, this is more often due to emulation than actual prison experience.
Thugs are also notorious for their relations with (and attitudes toward) women. Most thugs look down upon some women as being "hoes" or "tricks"; in other words, merely being vessels used for sexual pleasure. Romantic relationships with or any semblance of love for women is highly taboo, and women are usually only kept for sexual gratification. Thugs usually only hold admiration for their fellow thugs and other wealthy individuals in society. For example, living with a wife is highly taboo, but living with one's fellow thugs in a massive, pimped-out mansion is thoroughly acceptable. Pimps are also seen as role models by thugs.
Today, thugs comprise a youth sub-culture much larger than that of comparable subcultures like the goth culture. The term "thug" was largely popularized by Tupac Shakur, who frequently referred to himself as a "thug" or as living the "thug life", and who formed a short-lived group called Thug Life. Thug Life, according to Tupac, was an acronym for "The Hate U Gave Lil' Infants F**ks Everybody". Tupac often explained that being a thug was not about robbing, stealing, or hurting, but simply living "Black Life" due to the social and economic oppression that blacks are faced with. "Thugged out" is another popular derivation of the term, meaning someone who is the epitome of thug. Also, rapper Turk made a name for himself within the group Hot Boys with his catchphrase, "young and thuggin'". Other prominent purveyors of the term include Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
thats what a thug is if you actually read all that.
My drama teacher called all the bad kids "thuglets."

The word "Thug" comes from India. There was a cult of people called the "Thuggies" Who followed en route to pilgramige site's. Gradually gaining the trust of the group the thuggies would strangle them all in thier sleep. They did this to honour the goddess CALI. Who I think was the God of death and love. Some people think they started off as an off shoot on the Asassins of Arabia , and gradually absorbed local indian culture and gods.Quote:
