"turned up for what?"

could someone pls clarify what turn up and turn out mean in recent slang?

i take turn up to mean get wild or party; is it from the idea of turning up the volume (as i suspect) or simply turning up TO THE EVENT? would the song title equate roughly to "why are we partying?!" i.e. "party on, garth!"

similarly, does "get turnt" just mean "get wild" in a general sense, or does it specifically mean "get drunk" or "get stoned" or w/e?

turn out is more elusive to me. lotta pr0n w titles like "my mama turned me out". does that mean threw me out (whereupon i became a slut to survive) or something closer to PIMPED me out?

in some cases, it sounds like it means POPPED. ("teen virgin turned out by...")

then again, an SNL skit had a husband bragging that his wife "turned him out". hmmm. "landed thru sex"? "hooked"?

(sounds more like "got me off" to me, but the 1-time nature of using past tense there makes that an odd fit.)

otoh, one catfish ep had a girl saying she could "turn a straight girl out". that clearly sounds like it should mean "convert" there...or is it just "landed" or "hooked" again?

i checked urbandict but defs all over the place.

someone more in the know than i pls clarify!

TIA

when did "backdoor" come to mean anal? there's a song "backdoor santa" which is about some playboy running around banging married women. risque enuf for a christmas carol, i suppose, but "backdoor" simply means "sneaking around" in this context. i really don't think an added layer of innuendo about BUGGERY was intended here.

and yet, that's all i can HEAR when the song comes on! title might as well be "assfuck claus".

worse yet, that song "knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door", euuuwwww...

am i the only one?

i have just found out that "bread" for money is CRS by way of "bread and honey". so there's another one.

and here i was thinking it was a ref to jesus distributing loaves!

The best ever piece of Cockney Rhyming slang, in my humble opinion, because it's three times removed.

Aris = arse.

Now there is a 'slightly strange' logic to this.

'Aris' is shorthand for 'Aristotle'.

'Aristotle' is rhyming slang for 'Bottle'.

'Bottle' is shorthand for 'Bottle and Glass.'

'Bottle and Glass' (pronounced 'Bottle 'n' Glarse') is rhyming slang for 'Arse.'

And that's why 'Aris' = 'Arse.'

u wouldn't be the least curious what that means when someone said that to u??

Nope, to me if someone said that, I'd assume they were saying
"Hey, can you pick up the kids from day care today? You wanker (aka pal, chum, buddy, friend)!" - if you're British, or live in Britain, and your friends haven't got a 'pet insult' for you, they aren't your friends.

Bastard; Cunt; Twat; Wanker etc. vary between insults and compliments based on context - your friends call you an "ol' dirty cunt" - it's probably their way of showing you how much they love you.

One of my friends, first time he turned up at my door in over decade - "how's it going ya ugly bastard?" - followed by my response "What the fuck are you doing with that haircut?" - it was just like old times.

there's plenty of that in the states too, but wanker is not at all common here. even the verb "wank" -- pretty much "jerk off" and "jack off" here.

and the "C-word" (cunt) is waaaaaaaaaay harsher here than in the UK. even among profane/sarcastic friends, i would generally say avoid this one. it's up there with the N-word for us.

(that said, i dooooooo call my wife one. but only to her face.)

I have a fair share of Brit friends and I've never heard/seen Aris. Heard/seen Arse plenty.

Cunt is a very dangerous word in the States. However, in the UK, Australia and other places the Brits colonized, it's thrown around liberally. In fact Australians use it as a compliment. Example: He's a good cunt. Translation: He's a good dude.

Edit: I should have scrolled up.

couldn't aris just be arse said with a drawl?

i mean, we got a town in texas named deep ellum....where "ellum" is some old dude's spelling of ELM.
