Sons Of Anarchy: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed!
15. Gang Slang
The SAMCRO members regularly throw around gang slang in order to emulate the way real bikers speak. Even when these idioms aren't explained, viewers can make an educated guess as to what they mean.
However, there's so much lingo tossed about, it's hard to pick up on everything they're saying. The Northern Irish gangsters called the police "Peelers" which is a nod to the founder of the British modern police force, Robert Peeler. When SAMCRO talk about "rat bikes", they're referring to crummy motorcycles composed of salvaged parts. A sweetbutt or a Crow Eater is a girl who hangs around clubs to have sex with the members. When the club discuss "The AB", they're talking about Neo-Nazis. If a club member is described as having "a dime", it means they spent at least ten years in jail. Anyone who wants to join the club but isn't being considered is a "Hang Around".
Unless you have a deep understanding of motorcycle club history, it's likely references like this went right over your head.
