information or gossip derived from sources outside mainstream society, usually
judged as more reliable by the criminal
underclass and
mafiosi/gangster-types.
Example:
Carlo Bartolucci: That
phone call I got, it came from outside high walls and fancy
gates; it comes from a place you know about maybe from the movies. But I come from out there, and everybody out there knows, everybody lies: cops lie, newspapers lie, parent's lyin'. The one thing you can count on - word on the street... yeah, that's solid.
