A Bullet — Sweatshirt
One year, no euphemism
"A bullet" is prison and street vernacular for a one-year sentence — language built out of lived time, not a euphemism dressed up for outsiders. It's a term that carries weight precisely because it comes from people who've actually done the time it describes. This one's for anyone who knows exactly what that year cost, and isn't interested in pretending otherwise.
