How it's used

Originating from the secret society numerical codes used by the Triads, this term specifically refers to a Red Pole, or a high ranking enforcer. It carries a heavy, underworld connotation and is rarely used outside of crime dramas or discussions about gang activities. Using this term in polite company can sound aggressive or overly familiar with criminal jargon.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the date April 26th, which is written the same way but carries no criminal meaning. Context is everything, as the term is strictly reserved for describing someone's role within a gang hierarchy.
