MLE (Multicultural London English) slang for a drug dealer — specifically someone who sells drugs on the street, often in a housing estate or urban neighborhood. The term is deeply embedded in UK grime, drill, and rap culture, and has spread through music into broader youth slang. A shotter operates at the street level of the drug trade, and the word carries the gritty realism of inner-city life that characterizes the music scenes that popularized it. Widely recognized across UK youth culture today.
A mega shotter sits at the upper end of the street-dealing hierarchy — this isn't the corner worker moving small bags, this is someone with serious weight, a network beneath them, and consistent supply. The 'mega' prefix signals volume, influence, and longevity in the game. In UK road chat it's used with a mix of respect and caution because mega shotters aren't usually visible to civilians; they operate through layers. Getting called a mega shotter is either high praise or a serious accusation depending entirely on who's doing the talking.
An L shotter is a dealer who can't catch a break — or more accurately, one who keeps making decisions that guarantee their own downfall. Gets robbed, runs out of product, owes money to suppliers, keeps getting stopped by feds, and somehow manages to bring drama to every transaction. The 'L' (loss) prefix doesn't just mean unlucky; it implies the losses are self-inflicted. Road culture has little sympathy for an L shotter because the whole enterprise demands discipline, and an L shotter clearly has none. The only question is whether their run ends through arrest, debt, or just being cut off by everyone around them.
A mid shotter is exactly what it sounds like — a dealer operating firmly in mediocrity. Not dangerous enough to be feared, not connected enough to be respected, not smart enough to move up. The product is average, the prices aren't competitive, and the re-up is always late. In the brutal meritocracy of road slang, 'mid' is a quiet dismissal and attaching it to shotter strips any road credibility from the person. It's the kind of label that gets used behind someone's back and stings precisely because it's not even dramatic — just meh.
Don't bother calling him, he's a mid shotter — always short and never on time.
