In modern speech you can hear the word "banch". Young people use it in their circles. It appeared more than ten years ago. What does the term "ban" mean?
Meaning of the word
The word refers to verbs. The root of the word is "bunch."
In its meaning, it can be compared with the following words:
- "trade";
- "sell";
- "push";
- to bum.
It bears the tinge of something illegal when a person sells a prohibited product or does not have a license for it.
Origin version
Presumably the word appeared in the late nineties of the last century. There are two main theories that reveal the essence of a word. According to the first version, to ban is to trade in soft drugs. That is, a person receives easy money without making mental or physical efforts. He enters into a conspiracy with other people, being an intermediary.
According to the second version, to ban is to speculate in semi-legal or illegal goods. For example, stolen cars. In modern society, the word began to be used when reselling any product that goes past the counter.
It is believed that the word came from the free form of the term “banking,” which means “dealing with money,” “selling drugs.” In Italian, the word "banco" means a shop on which money changers laid out coins.
Examples in the text
For a complete understanding of the slang word, it is worth familiarizing yourself with several examples in which it will be appropriate:
- Modern students are able to ban only iPhones and wheels.
- Then we don’t have to ban in the streets.
- If you're going to ban nonsense - blame yourself.
- People felt a change in society when a local kiosk, Soyuzpechat, began to ban vodka.
As you can see from the examples, not all of them are related to drugs. However, in all sentences the word has a negative connotation. In modern youth slang, the word can be used without negative coloring.
