Graffiti is a type of street art where people draw or paint on public walls and surfaces, often without permission. It can range from simple writing to detailed pictures. Graffiti is used to share ideas, messages, or artwork and is commonly found in city areas. While it is often done illegally, it is also valued for its artistic expression and influence on city culture.

The idiom "catch someone red-handed" traces its origin to the practice of catching a person with literal blood stains on their hands, serving as irrefutable evidence of their involvement in a crime or wrongdoing. In earlier times, the phrase was associated with catching a thief or murderer immediately after the act, when their hands were stained with the victim's blood. Over time, the idiom evolved to describe any situation where someone is caught in the act of committing an offense or engaging in illicit activities, leaving them with undeniable proof of their guilt.
