Pronunciation: gang-run-tal-i-ty

Sentence: When Jason ran with his group he joined a gangruntality with his fellow runners as they blatantly disregarded all traffic laws, daring people to honk or swear at them. His mother told him never to get involved with a gang, but he couldn't help it. This was the street, and jogging alone here was asking for trouble. Besides, running through stop signs and knocking down old ladies made him feel rebellious and free, just like James Dean -- a runner without a cause.

Etymology: From "gang mentality": a feeling that allows individual members of a group feel invincible, larger in importance or strengthened -- often used in reference to street gang behavior + Gang: refers to a herd of buffalo, elk, or a pack or wild dogs; a group of people who engage in wrongdoing + run: jog + mentality: attitude or way of thinking
