Nah, loosies are .50-$1 single cigarettes you buy at the bodega when you can't afford a whole pack.

Loosies also refers to when you buy individual cigarettes in a bodega or corner store. You sometimes hear them referred to as "corner loosies".

We all know what the word "lick" means -- an easy opportunity of gain (robberies, burglaries, etc).

This has somehow evolved into everyday slang, since people in the hood are always looking for a "lick." So, it's only right someone awakes everyday and ask, "What the lick read?"
Yea this sound right [pic]

I see what you did there. [pic]



Kill Cam didn't coin "No Homo", bruh -- although he arguably popularized it.



Broccoli = Green. Green = Money or Weed. Either definition works, depends where you're from I guess.
are'nt no homo and pause the exact same thing? why does cam get the credit when jay was saying pause way earlier?
