Verbots
Definition
Verbots (n.pl.): In hip-hop and street slang, strict prohibitions or unspoken rules that are absolute no-gos, often tied to codes of loyalty, violence, or hustle; derived from German 'verbo ten' meaning forbidden, flipped into gritty urban lingo for taboos like snitching, faking flex, or betraying the squad.
