New Street Lingo?

[Shankara20]

In my RL I give community education programs about sexual assault/healthy relationships. I hear many things about sex and some of slang terms in use change.

I fully understand what is being said when a woman says "I get to know a guy before I decide to back up to him."

When a guy is called "a player", or "a Boss" I understand, although "He's a G" took me a while to sort out.

Today I picked up something new.

"I'll take him up like a biscuit"

I did a "what the.." look.
Then a double take with a "oh!!!" look.
Then a triple take with a blush.

Me! Shank! Blushing.

In all fairness I was the only male in the room with 14 women.

So I offer this new, to me at least, lingo.

You folks got anything new I should know about street lingo around sex?

I suppose I might spend some time with Urban Dictionary but you all are more fun.

"He's a G"? He's...gay? Good? Glamorous? My god man! You need to write a dictionary of this stuff.

"He's a Gangsta" said with respect and giving him some street cred.

One of my coworkers favorite time-waster activities is trying to teach me street lingo.

"I'm a g?'
"No, no no. I'm uh G. You gotta say it with 'tude!"
"Oh. I'm a G. Better?"
"Ummm... no. Let's try this one - I'm in the cut!"
"Okay, but what's a cut?"

Much laughter ensues...

so...
what's a cut?

Apparently it means you're in the in crowd... or something. No one could really explain it to me, other than it's a good thing.

I'll try using it with the next group of street youth I work with and see what happens...

I always understood it to mean a place like home or the club or wherever.

"I'm chilling in the cut. Tell shorty to come through."

O wise Shank, please tell an ignorant foreigner what the biscuit bit means. Pretty please?

My mad googling skillz failed me.

From Urban Dictionary:

feel like a biscuit

To realize that you are wrong, stupid, or otherwise moronic. Often used in a rhetorical question.
1. Dang, now don't you feel like a biscuit?
2. See, 'feel like a biscuit' is a phrase. Now I bet you feel like a biscuit, Julia.

Yeah, but the phrase in Shankäs post was to take [someone] up like a biscuit, not to feel like one. Or am I just not getting something here?

 

[BiBunny]

I thought biscuit = really lame term for gun. That one's several years old, though, so it may not be what Shank's talking about, either.

She was using the biscuit as being herself, and the unstated implication was he is the gravy - as in the great southern meal biscuits and gravy.

My very graphic mind quickly saw the source of unstated gravy as his manhood.

Hrmmmh... okay. That's a new one on me. Interesting concept.

Hehe, makes sense now that you've explained it.

 

[Lord_Steve]

biscuit also used to be a jazz/blues euphemism for the female genitalia

I honestly thank goodness every day I live in a country where nearly everyone speaks a recognisabley english language.

Thankfully street lingo here doesn't require google search or the urban dictionary.

Kids here don't seem to be as creative at making up words and generally don't seem to absorb much of the lingo that filters into mainstream entertainment.

Staying within the thread topic, don't you mean "say what?"

Or not. I did not want anyone to start over and say anything.

I've got a teenager, and I've never heard any of this slang. I'll reiterate:

I don't have any teenagers and I've never heard any of this slang, either. So, I'll join you.

Everyone has slang no one else understands. We just export more because we're a declining empire.

Sooo... if we import more slang, our economy will get better? :: blinkblink ::
