Examples
The gym parking lot was a gino convention, with every souped-up Civic blasting thumping bass.
He walked in like a classic gino, gold chain swinging harder than a wrecking ball.
Spot the gino: backwards cap, velour tracksuit, and a fade so fresh it could cut glass.
Gin os don't whisper sweet nothings; they rev engines to serenade their dates.
