Define Triad Meaning

Triad
The Sun Yee On Triad, Flying Dragons, Ghost Shadows, Wah Ching, Wo Hop To Triad, 4 Seas, are considered Triads because they're Chinese blooded. They can do organized crime like the Italian Mafia, as well as blast at people, jump people, rob people, shoot out rival gangbangers just like black gangs, & vatos do. The younger heads, that can be just 13 damn years old, do the dirty work for the Dai Lo's to earn their respect. They're usually marked in the gang by showing loyalty, getting tattoos, and cigarette/insense burns all over the body. Prostitution and gambling is the bread and butter for most Triads.

The Triad was getting into trouble with some street gang, so one called his Chinese brothers in Hong Kong to come. So they take the next flight to America and blast the shit out of these faggots and also their family.

Triad
A name for organized crime based in Hong Kong or mainland China, also used to denote a member thereof. Note: You can't say "Jin-Wa belongs to a gang named the Triad." This would be akin to saying "Corleone belongs to a gang named the Mafia." No, you say "Jin-Wa was a Triad," or "Jin-Wa belonged to the Triads." You idiotic ignorant wanna-be bastard movie reviewers who don't know shit.

Triads
A term used to describe many Chinese criminal organizations. They are the most well-known organized crime group in China, Hong Kong, and Macao. They originated in the anti-Manchu resistance in China. The term "triad" comes from the three dots which form part of the Chinese character for the Ming Emperor Hung Wu. The Triads began as "Men of Hung." They were both part of the political resistance of the Han Chinese to the Manchu dynasty, as well as outlaws who "Ta fu — chih p'in" (Hit the Rich and help the poor).

Both the Chinese Triads and the Italian Mafia and Camorra have existed at least since the early 1800s. The Triads spread all over the world and control much of the illegal and informal economy in overseas Chinese communities.

Triad (Simplified Chinese: ÈýºÏ»á; Traditional Chinese: ÈýºÏ•þ; Pinyin: S¨¡nh¨¦hu¨¬; literally "Triad Society") or (Simplified Chinese: ºÚÉç»á; Traditional Chinese: ºÚÉç•þ; Pinyin: {{{p}}}; literally "Black Society") is a collective term that describes many branches of an underground society and organizations based in Hong Kong and also operating in Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Chinatowns in Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

There are more than 57 triad groups that are active in Hong Kong; some of them are no more than small, local street gangs. The larger groups, including the Sun Yee On, Wo Shing Wo and 14K, are syndicates of sophisticated criminals, mirror images of such similar western empires of crime as the mafia.

Their activities include drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal gambling, prostitution, car theft and other forms of racketeering. A major source of triad income today comes from the counterfeiting intellectual property such as computer software, music CDs and movie VCDs/DVDs. They also trade in bootleg tobacco products.

Triad
A loving, committed relationship between 3 people. All 3 people are equal in the relationship and typically sexually intimate with both of the other two. Like a marriage, but with 3 people.

Most often found between 3 gay men, but could also be (in order of likelihood) 2 men and 1 woman, 2 women and 1 man or 3 women.

A Triad is a partnership of equals and does not have the same stigmas associated with it as does polygamy which is sometimes (not always) more about a man married to and/or controlling multiple women who are not involved with each other sexually.

"Brian and Duane have been together for about 6 months, but Richard just joined them to become an official triad."

David and Cynthia have been married for a while, but Mike just moved in and they are now a triad.
