My older sister and her bf were downtown today moving to her new apartment. In the apartment complex there is a store that sells clothes. While they were looking they saw a t shirt that said "don't front". They think it's some kind of slang but they want to know what it means. I've googled it and i've tried slang dictionaries but nothing comes up. So do you guys know what it means?

I always thought "to front" someone meant they were selling you something, they gave it to you, and you cheated them out of their money. Or vice versa.

QUOTE(brownsugar @ May 29 2006, 3:40 PM) Well then you'd be frontin' like you had the money. Either way it's pretending you are/have something that you're not/you don't. That makes a lot more sense.
