Photo Credit: Paramount+Viewers are eager to know what the term “grass” means in Paramount+’s new series, MobLand. Episode 1, titled “Stick or Twist,” concluded with the murder of an individual named Archie at the hands of Conrad. The victim was frequently referred to as the “grass,” a slang word which many might not be familiar with, given that it’s commonly used in the U.

K. Conrad thinks if his suspicions come out to be true about the victim, then the killing was indeed a smart business move. But what were the suspicions, and why was Archie called grass? Here are the details.



What is a Grass in Mobland?Grass is a slang term more commonly used in the U.K. to refer to someone who acts like a snitch or a rat.

In contrast, it also means a police informant.The term generally means that the individual, who is often referred to as grass, usually snitches and betrays their close ones for personal gain. It remains unclear where the term originated.

However, such a term can be seen being used commonly in movies and TV shows to describe someone who turns his back on his party and supports the rival temporarily in an attempt to gain something beneficial. In the British crime world, police informants were usually called the grass in the 1930s. In the series, too, the victim was referred to as grass, as he was likely suspected to be a police informant.

Was Archie a Grass in Mobland?Although Archie acted suspiciously before his demise, he might not have been a grass. Maeve appears to have manipulated the Harrigans into believing that he was disloyal.After Archie’s murder, Harry Da Souza was immediately summoned to the police station.

This makes many wonder how the police learned about the incident. In this case, there are two possibilities: someone reported the incident, or Archie was indeed a police informant whose sudden disappearance led to the cops intervening. The first one, in this case, seems more plausible, as it’s unlikely that Archie was disloyal to Harrigans.

Although he made attempts to peace things out with Stevensons, he likely wasn’t a police informant. He was portrayed as unfaithful by Maeve, who likely pushed Conrad into killing him, and she might have done it for personal gain.The post MobLand: What Is a Grass?
