I love learning new words. Always have. I have subscribed to Webster.com's word of the day. I grew up with It Pays to Enrich Your Word Power. I keep a notepad handy when reading anything, and frequently make mental notes throughout my day of words and pop culture phrases to dissect and define at a later time. Trashy as it may be, a richly valuable resource I have repeatedly referred to is urbandictionary.com. Just yesterday I was baffled when I heard "kool aid" used in a context which sounded very much as if it meant someone's girlfriend. So quickly I hit the bookmarked site to discover that indeed...
Kool aid: In the deepest parts of the hood--can be meant as a metaphor for someone's personal business...A man's personal business. Specifically his girl.
"You best be steppin' off! Why you all up in my kool aid?"...
"Back off my kool aid!"I likely will never have occasion to use this gem, but at least now I know.

Is that sort of like, "I am going to get your stuff?"
I think it is akin.
Is that kind of like "Git out my S*#@"? I wonder if that is what the masculine half of the african-american pregnant lesbian couple meant when she was shouting it at us.
