Just wanted to clear up this slang term used here often.
The correct term is "woof tickets" not "wolf"
Woofing means barking. In other words you are barking a lot with nothing to back it up. Hence "woof tickets".
Empty tickets you can't cash.
"Wolf ticket" makes no sense.
From the prestigious Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wolf tickets:
The phrase "wolf ticket" is the result of a misunderstood African-American slang expression for the practice of verbal intimidation, "sellin' woof tickets," that was incorrectly transposed by whites.
Discuss.
