t is exploited as a return for a command that the student thinks is utterly impossible.It goes something like this:"Man, you don`t even want me to get over there with my mans Jimmy.We urge those niggas` asses all night." - Student A"That`s dead." - Student BNow, that would be followed up with Student A "stamping" that this is truth.Usually, you cast on person who has died, such as a protagonist who has been shot.If you are really serious, you`ll stamp on your grandmother.And so, the conversation would remain with Student A stating:"On my mans, Juju, I tender that s***."If this were a more serious conversation, Student A might cast on someone in the region who died and was a little more illustrious than the aforementioned Juju.Student A might go so far as stamping on a dead relative.Now, these are serious conversations that these students are having.They go from talk about what they did the dark before to talk about dead people.I can`t conceive of anything more morose to discuss on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.But evidently they are set to drag up the preceding in place to appear as though they are just honest characters.I mentioned "pressed" above.I should have explained that one.Getting "pressed out" or getting you`re "a** pressed" means that individual has fought you and clearly if you were "pressed out" that meant you lost."Pressed out" should not be confused with "pressed," which I think would be the second definition in our urban dictionary."Pressed" means someone needs something from you and they need you to do it quickly or they want it done now.Let`s say, I`m in the schoolroom and I`m lecturing on resumes (I was a career teacher, I did this frequently) and a student pulls out his cell phone and starts texting.I`ll say something like, "Timmy, put that phone away."Now, assume that Timmy does not follow with said petition and I once again redirect him, Timmy might say something like, "Man, she be pressed."Meaning that I can`t look for him to complete his texting conversation.I need the ring to be in his pocket NOW."You only got me go."That was another frequent expression said exasperatingly in my classroom.When I first heard the phrase, it lost the hell out of me.Could you say that again, "Did I get your goad?""Nah, Ms. So-and-So, you only got me go."It means that you got under somebody`s skin and made them angry.It usually happened when I told them what assignments had to be completed.Another word to express disgust would go something like, "You`re blowing me, Ms. Spinella."Ah, this word was the crudest of all because I love what that word means in a sexual connotation.The students never meant it in this way at all."Man, your blowing me."This was but a truncated translation of, what I`m sure used to be, "You`re blowing my mind."I can`t manage what you`re saying because it is too often for my mind to handle.If a pupil was about to have a meltdown, I would usually see the phrase, "I`m about to kirk off."Or possibly the students wanted to discuss someone who got restrained earlier in the day, one might say something like, "Suzy was kirking off at luncheon and they restrained her a**."I always wondered why they hadn`t come up with a jargon word for restrain.I think it`s bad enough getting restrained, maybe they didn`t need to take up a jargon word.That might cheapen the event.Oh, and let me not leave the world-famous "clappers."No, this is not an STD, it`s what butts do on women.Well, mostly women with big butts.Their butt cheeks, well, they clap together when they walk.So, a daughter might be said to "get the clappers."Or a pupil might say, "Boy, she wish to use them clappers."It was sometimes said to me and it ever made me wishing to bolt the kid in the face."Ms. So-and-So has them clappers. Mmm."So, disturbing on so many levels.I`ve nearly slapped children for this disrespectful statement.I must say, being in an interior city high school was like not only teaching, but learning a new language.Sometimes, the kids would consider it was amusing when I didn`t know what they were saying.They thinking they were so smart using their language, but it`s light to see a speech when you are fully immersed in it.And I was and preserve to be, for longer than I ever intended.
