Often used in gangs, cults, or other groups where there are owner and slave type relationships. When a dealer or pimp burns his or her street name or a symbol onto someone. Doing so shows that this person is now his or her "property", and if the branded person is caught working for another pimp or dealer then both they and the branded person are marked as enemies of the first pimp or dealers group.
1. Man, Joe totally branded the new girl last night.
2. Better be careful around her; I think she's already branded.
3. I think they're branding the new kid tonight.
