Common substitution of letters "ck" in Crip gang culture, due to "ck" being an acronym for Crip killer/killa or Crab killer, being its more extreme variation. For this reason, words that include the letters "ck" are either removed (deletion), avoided, or replaced by "cc". For example, the phrase "kick back" is written as "kicc bacc". There are instances of wandering tourists getting the stares or even being confronted by crip members for wearing Calvin Klein clothing line. This practice has found its way into the meme culture and popularised by memes such as "THICC". CC letter substitution is now considered a mainstream practice. However, not many people know its exact origins.
