Term for mugging
In the last week I have come across the term "stocking" twice. Once in a
newspaper article, once in a TV comedy show produced locally. This is used for
robbing some unfortunate kid of the latest trendy article of clothing such as
baseball caps with American insignia and seems to be current in Auckland, New
Zealand, among street gangs. As their language seems to be heavily influenced
by
the American media, I was wondering if this is an American term.
Never hoiduvit.
