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