Scrapie
The name scrapie is derived from one of the clinical signs of the condition, wherein affected animals will compulsively scrape off their fleeces against rocks, trees, or fences. The disease apparently causes an itching sensation in the animals. Other clinical signs include excessive lip smacking, altered gaits, and convulsive collapse.
Crips and Bloods: Made in America
The name “Crips” was chosen after narrowing down to various names. The word “Crips” was generated from the younger gang members acting like pimps, and their cane and walk caused people in their neighborhoods to call them “cripples” and was later shortened to “Crips”. It reflected the young age of majority of the gang members, many of which were 17 years old.
