I see a lot of people on Xbox Live with 187 after their names. I understand it when people use 69 and 420...but what does 187 mean?

Damn I guess not.

It's the police code for murder

187 is, of course, the exact number of ulcer-inducing moments in Phantom Menace.

It's the LAPD police code for Murder to be exact, many other agencies use 10 codes or call it a 31 (Homicide).

I might be older than you. I didn't know what 69 meant until like my 2nd year in hs.

I still don't understand what 420 means.

"Yeah and it don't stop"
" Cuz it's 187 on tha undercover cop"

Hah. Isn't it referencing how Grateful Dead concerts started at 4:30, so people started smoking (weed) at 4:20?

187 = police code for homicide

Oh, yeah? What does the term "Code 4" mean to cops, hotshots?

420

Once apon a time in the 60s, there was a group of highschool friends who called themselves The *something* (might have been mysterious) Waldos. They would always meet after school at 4:20 to smoke weed. So, whenever they were in school and they wanted to talk about it, they would use 420 as a code word for it.

That would be correct

If that means anything, would it be 'officer down' ?

I thought 420 was just the date when it's National Weed Day. Ahhhh a great day it is.. jk of course.

Nope. If the cops were searching your house for drugs and didn't find anything, one of the cops would tell the others that the house was "Code 4". It means that everything is normal.

I thought Code 6 was everything normal.

Ok, I listened to snoop when he was snoop doggy dog and dre and eazy e before that and I still didn't know what 187 meant.

I was thinking Sublime

"It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a mother in' cop"

but snoop-a-loop works as well

I've heard some say it was the number of times Al Pacino says in Scarface.
