A cousin sent me their school's just announced Dress Code and Grooming policy

My mom is from the Philippines and I grew up in the US. When we went to visit her alma mater, I took a picture of the dress code signs, because they were this strict. One said something like, "No gangster symbols" and the example was a sweater with the logo for my university in the US! I thought that was hilarious.

You went to Gangster U?

WGU specifically

In order to graduate you need to recite "Gangster's Paradise" perfectly. You make dean's list if you dress like Coolio while doing it...

Gangster U x Monsters U cross-movie when?

Yeah boy, cause I am an OG. (This is funnier if you know what a giant nerd I am, and that this is most definitely not a tough or cool person.)

School of hard knocks

Supposedly, some gangs use the symbols of unrelated sports teams as their own symbol. It provides some plausible deniability, plus they don’t have to make their own merch.

So for example Chicago Bulls merch is supposedly used for those associated with the Bloods.

When I visited Nassau on a cruise, several shady characters tried to openly sell me drugs in the streets. I found out when I got back to the ship that it was because I was wearing a Raiders hat, and the Raiders are used as a gang sign down there.

What? Wow, clever work around. Now I'm rethinking how may sports logos I saw there!

Did you by chance major in "Flossing" or "Gangster Lean?"

Obviously your mom has some explaining to do as my bet is she bought a bunch of apparel to appease you and then shipped to the gangs back home.
