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'.

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.
