The word quap originated from the an african american slang term used on the streets of Harlem, New York to indicated large sums of money aquired through the sale of illicit drugs. It is in reference to the amount of money a typical black male would earn in a year at an 8 hour hour a day, 5 day a week job, making minimum wage (new york state). At present day 7.15 x 8 = 57.2 a day...57.2 x 8 = 286 a week ... 286 x 53 = $14,872 in a year...thus the amount of guap at the present rate is $14,872 in previous years when minimum wage was at 5.15 an hour a guap was equivilent to $10,712. As a sign of the times a quap has risen with inflation.
