Same as in everyday language
Etym:
Thuggee (or tuggee) (from Hindi thag thief, from Sanskrit sthaga scoundrel, from sthagati to conceal) was an Indian network of secret fraternities who were engaged in murdering and robbing travellers, operating from the 17th century (possibly as early as 13th century) to the 19th century whose members were known as Thugs. This is the origin of the term thug, as many Indian words passed into common English during British Imperial rule of India.

In slang talk:
Ju wanna no wat a Thug is homey? I tell ju wat a thug is, a thug is a straight up G
A thug is not afraid of anything or anyone and if you mess with a thug you better watch your back homie, cuz a thug will bust a cap in your ***.
(now the true definition of a thug)
A punk that needs a gun to win a fight (Watch Friday - the dad describes them perfectly) A thug is an idiot who thinks that pants hanging down around their knees is cool. They don't realize that cops created that fad so it would be harder for thugs to run from them.
