English term or phrase: throw ups
The history of the "throw-ups" started with writers in the 1970's who did quick "bubble-letter" pieces, to "get-up" fast. The first writer and crew to take this form of "bombing" to a new level, was IN-1 & THE TOP CREW. Their goal was to take over the whole subway system. They accomplished this by inventing the two-letter throw-ups, which helped them become "All-City" kings, in the mid 1970's. The new generation of writers used this concept and took it to a new level. Originality is also very important, therefore writers could be criticized for having a "whack" (ugly) "throwie".

laisser en anglais avec une note


Explanation:
voir Wikipédia: Certains tageurs opèrent dans un style dit hardcore, qui consiste à laisser sa marque sur les murs des villes sous formes de signatures, ou tags, plus ou moins travaillées, de chromes (peinture massive sans détails, généralement bicolore en noir et chrome), de flops ou de throws-up (lettrage exécuté rapidement généralement d'un seul trait, qui doivent leur nom à leur forme très arrondie).
