    I think "beef" is the only prison slang we use in everyday society. I don't know if it originated in prison, but when I was in high school a decade ago, we use to say "Yo, who you beefin' with?" or "You got some beef with me?"

      @G TEAM Dude, you don't sound intimidating, you don't sound tough.
      You sound like someone trying to emulate what their idea of tough is, and acting that way on a format where no one knows what you look or sound like.
      Truly tough and strong guys, do not need to say they are tough or strong.
      What would you do if someone picked a fight with you? You would no doubt start monologuing about how you once beat up a hundred men without breaking a sweat; because that's just how tough you are.
      You would laugh as you say "You really don't want to do this; It'll only end in pain for you Beta".
      Do you know how strong and tough people act? If the threat is real, they don't waste time talking or laughing; they act. They don't wait for someone to throw the first punch so they can feel justified in fighting them, so they can plead self defence later.
      They do not wait, they do not monologue.
      They strike, and don't act like a tough guy on the internet; because they don't have to.
      Those who are strong kniw they are strong; what use is it telling others they are strong.

I forget what it stands for, but the BO will get the food cart out of the sally port and get a couple'a guys to help him pass out trays. The BO is the only one that is allowed out of their cell, use the microwave, etc... after lights out/lockdown but that's only because its the BO's job to mop the day room, clean the showers out, what have you, but usually for doing all that crap, sometimes a C.O. will let him make a phone call from his desk, or the next time that CO works, he'll bring the BO some kind of outside treat, like a Coke or something.

    Prison can't be what defines this man. He seems too intelligent, grateful and kind. I'm sure there will come a day when he gets tired of reliving prison life and finds his true calling. It's never too late. May God bless and keep you free and safe, Mr. Lawton.
