Translations from conversations with teens

Shake= run away, get outta here
Used in a sentence: "I'm gonna shake." or "Let's shake."
Not to be confused with a threat of a seizure or a greeting of hands among acquaintances. Typically used when a teen is agitated and wanting to leave an area. After one has "shook" the police are usually notified and a run report is made.

On my ______ (insert a family member here.)= I promise or I swear
Previously known as "I cross my heart and hope to die."
Used in a sentence: "On my momma." or "On my cousin." or "On my dead baby sister."
If the relative who is used in the statement is deceased, the statement is to be considered more serious and really true like a "pinkie-swear."
