Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "KOHN" (as in "coat") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "fohs" (as in "foam")/

Meaning

A classic Chicano marking, written "C/S," placed next to graffiti and barrio tags as protection: it means whoever disrespects or crosses it out gets it back double. More a symbol of cultural identity than a threat.

Examples

He put "con safos" on his tag on the wall so nobody would cross it out.

That one has C/S on it, respect it, that's how the barrio did things.

Regional synonyms

To annoy, pester, or nag someone repeatedly until they lose their patience. The person who 'da lata' doesn't stop bugging you no matter how many hints you drop.
