Flash Mob
Something that internet rookies think that people who use the internet do. Supposedly a "flash mob" is a bunch of random people who meet up to spontaneously do something ridiculous to confuse others.

These don't really exist. When they do, they are carefully organized, which makes them EVENTS... the kinds that people have been having for thousands of years.

Jon: WOW like OH EM GEE we should totally make a flash mob!

Jeff: People don't actually do that.

Jon: Yes they do!

Jeff: Ever seen one?

Jon: ...... OMG have you seen this video of a cat playing the keyboard?

Flash Mob
A term used by inner-city youth, usually in a gang and oftentimes African-American. Describes a quick, spontaneous shooting (hence 'flash') of an individual (or perhaps of a small group) by a gang of African-Americans (hence 'mob.')

The term 'flash mob' originated as some kind of strange gimmick where net-savvy nerds met in a public place to do something ridiculous, then quickly disperse.

However, 'flash mob' has gone from being something to laugh at to something to fear. Five or six blacks (or occasionally Mexicans, Asians or even white trash) with guns will jump a rival gang member, someone they have beef with, or even a random person, usually in a dark alley or parking lot, shout "flash mob!" and just open fire. A flash mob could also be a drive-by shooting where there are several shooters.

Milwaukee Flash Mob
The practice of gathering a large group of African-American people together in a crowded environment and simultaneously beginning to target and assault any white people in the vicinity. It is similar to a traditional flash mob in that the event is pre-planned via text message, social networking, or e-mail. Instead of breaking out into a coordinated song and dance, the people involved assault nearby white people and vandalize and loot nearby vendors.

For example, on August 4, 2011, a group of approximately 100 Africa-American teenagers launched a Milwaukee Flash Mob at the state fair grounds in West Allis, WI following an M.C. Hammer concert.
