Teokrats
Definition
Teokrats (n): In hip-hop and street slang, phony religious elites or 'holy bosses' who wield power like dictators through faith hustles, blending 'theo-' (God) and '-crats' (rulers/aristocrats/democrats). Pastors, imams, or gurus scamming tithes, living lavish while preaching poverty—corrupt spiritual overlords in the hood.
