Modern
graffiti slang: a
piece that
burns has vibrant and eye-dazzling
colors, so that the wall or
train almost appears to be "on fire". The word can also signify superiority of one
writer or piece over another: "That
toy got
burned the other day." Finally, a location that has been
rocked hard (been boldly enhanced with high-quality graffiti) is considered to have been "burned", as in "Man, he really
burned that old
shed on Highway 99."
A piece which burns is known as a "burner".
