jointgate
Refers to the February 2022 'scandal' where Snoop Dogg got caught on camera smoking a joint at SoFi Stadium in LA before leading the Halftime Show at Super Bowl LVI in his hometown no less.
The funny thing about 'jointgate' was how the backlash Snoop Dogg got on Twitter for smoking a joint at SoFi Stadium was met with 10x more backlash to the backlash.

get versed
An imperative statement usually used in business contexts that implores people to know what they're talking about (particularly in regards to content and trending topics). I think of it as 'get a clue' meets 'know your shit' meets 'get your shinebox' meets 'get fucked'.
The new employee claimed on his CV to be 'Proficient in Market Trends'. Then we got to talking about the Sharing Economy and he'd never heard of Airbnb. I told him to get versed or start looking for a new job.

David Simon
