Definitions

Gold (or gold-and-diamond) teeth — usually permanent caps or removable fronts, not the slip-on grills you bought online. Deep roots in New Orleans and the wider Dirty South; to be 'slugged up' is to have the full mouth done, often with names, initials or open-face diamond cutouts. Status piece, mouthpiece, and family heirloom all at once.

“Boy walked in slugged up top and bottom, whole grill flashing under the club lights.”
