My union with the neighborhood kids teaches me Bloods don't say or write words starting with c's. This is how Bloods disrespect Crips. They replace all c's with k's or b's and cross out all remaining c's in the word.
Etymology
When the gang was formed, the term blood, from blood brother, was common street slang, used in the 1960s by young Black and Hispanic men and returning veterans from the Vietnam War to refer to friends.
