| Jul 13, 2020 at 15:30 | comment | added | MikeB | @RossPresser Quoting from a piece of Hollywood fiction to show what 'foreign' customs are doesn't make much sense. Your example of making an offering to the gods fits with EITHER usage. | |

| Jul 12, 2020 at 17:13 | comment | added | Ross Presser | Stipulated but calling it a hip hop culture aspect is really, really underestimating its reach. | |
| Jul 12, 2020 at 15:10 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | @RossPresser You mean the custom is widespread in the US because as far as I know this ritual is not practiced in neither the UK nor in Italy. | |
| Jul 12, 2020 at 15:03 | comment | added | Ross Presser | It's not (just) hip hop. It goes back to ancient Greece where you would pour out a libation to the gods before drinking. It's seen in Dexter where the Cuban character played by Jimmy Smits does this. It's strongly associated with gangs who do this to show respect to members killed in gang battles. It's widespread. | |
