front
n.— «Maj. Richard Hite, a barrel-chested man with a shaven head, his holster bulging beneath his shirt, approached a gangly teenager whose smile revealed gold-plated teeth. “Nice fronts,” Major Hite said. The teeth, which cost about $1,500, were almost certainly paid for by a drug dealer trying to woo the boy into his organization, Major Hite figured.» —“Police Chief Sees Drug Toll With Father’s Eyes” by James Dao, Gary Gately in Baltimore, Md.
