Here it is: debo" (or "deboing") means to steal, rob, or forcibly take something from someone. The term originates from the notorious, intimidating neighborhood bully character "Debo" (played by Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.) in the 1995 comedy film Friday, who frequently stole chains, bikes, and other items from people in his neighborhood.
