Door Pop

The old South Side of Chicago social custom of shooting
through the door at unwanted visitors.

"Big Joe went to Fat Tony's mother's house tryin' to start

some bullshit an' got his ass door popped instead."

"Yeah... Fat Tony's mother keeps a .38 in both front
pockets of her apron so Big Joe was proper fucked
before he even stood on the welcome mat."

Chicago Handshake

A form of greeting first made popular on Chicago's South Side during the 1920's.

As you reach out to shake someone's hand, you smile, step on their foot
then fire your snub nose .38 revolver through the pocket of a cheap overcoat.

BANG! BANG!

"Wat da fuck happened to Big Joe?"

"I dunno. Some guy was smiling and shaking his hand

like they wuz long lost friends then next t'ing ya know
I heard a coupla shots an' Joe's layin' dere wit' his dick

in da dirt an' the guy was gone!"

"Hey! Why is the toe of one of his $300.00 shoes all scuffed?"

"I dunno... This is some more South Side b.s.
Let's go before tha' cops get here."

"Yeah... It looks like Big Joe got himself

a Chicago Handshake."
