Slang Fridays: “You don’t know my life!”

In the world of urban vernacular (that sounded fancy, didn’t it?) I hear a lot of phrases that my silly mind pictures literally.  Of course, the infamous Cheekie, of the blog  Pinch My Cheekie thought about these things literally as well.  I swear we hang out too much on Gchat together.  Anyway, we started talking about different mental pictures of the slang we hear and and I had the bright idea of photoshopping those mental images.  Of course we thought it was pure genius because we are a little bit touched in the head.  Don’t judge us!  Any-hoo here is the second installment, I will do one each Friday or more often if the spirit hits me!  Enjoy!

You don’t know my life!/ defense mechanism

a phrase used to defend an exceedingly trifling action

ex.:

Alise: I think it is kind of messed up you cursed that nun out.

Shenehneh: I have bad history with religion.  YOU DON’T KNOW MY LIFE!!!

synonyms: You don’t even know nothing ’bout me!

you don't know my life

Boy: "So what, I don't even listen to Mary J. like that, YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE!!!"

I put that on everything!/ phrase

Expression signifying that what you are talking about is the absolute truth.  This phrase is usually used after a totally unbelivable lie and/or boast about what one USED to have.

Put that on everything

The room I used to have looked just like that, I put that on everything!
