How to use thug in a sentence?

  1. Freddie Gray:

    Whether we call them a thug, a law breaker, a juvenile delinquent, it really doesn't matter. What matters is how do we take back our streets. And that's what men have been doing, going around, talking to these young men where they, are in their face, and letting them know, you can't control this community. It is not yours. You can't burn it down. You can't force people out. You can't threaten people.

  2. Sebastian Gorka:

    If you have a broad historical sense you will understand that even if Putin says he's killing terrorists or even if China says they're fighting the Uyghur nationalists that doesn't mean they're on our side, putin is a former KGB colonel, he's a thug, he's a vicious man. He runs a country in which journalists get murdered if they disagree with the Kremlin. China is the world's last communist dictatorship. It may be running around doing quasi-capitalist things but it is a one party state and to say that we have shared interests. No Mr. Trump, we don't and we should really stick to the friends we already have.

  3. Chen Nian:

    The contradictory traits of a' thug' and Peppa Pig make people laugh, peppa Pig's an act of subculture rebellion.

  4. Michele Woodhouse:

    I do not understand how anyone in American public office could call Zelensky a' thug' while Ukraine is under such vicious assault, let's be clear. The thug is Vladimir Putin.

  5. Lil Nas:

    I believe whenever you're trying something new, it's always going to get some kind of bad reception. For example, when rap started, or when rock and roll began, but with country trap, I in no way want to take credit for that. I believe Young Thug would be one of the biggest pioneers in that.
