keeping it fresh

The art of acting spontaneously resulting in you actions being original and generally awesome.

'Wow did you just see what he did?! He totally just kept it fresh!'

'Keeping it fresh!'

'I like rubbing cake into myself...' 'You're keeping it fresh!'

Keeping It Irish

Choosing to only drink beer on nights out, in an effort to not become overly inebriated.

No Fireball for me, thanks. I'm keeping it Irish tonight.

Keeping it realer

Although some people keep it real, some people keep it realer. Shane is an example of keeping it really, really real. By keeping it really, really real, he does what he wants, when he wants, to whom he wants.

When the homies tried to roll hard on Shane in the HBG, he whipped out his gigantic man-cock and smacked those bitches in their silly faces ...Obviously he was keeping it realer.

Keeping it real

It’s an ignorant saying used by a person that is rude and not tactful. But the person tries to make their rudeness acceptable by saying they are just “keeping it real” or “Just being honest”. But in reality the person is accepting only the opportunities and rules taught to them by other ignorant people. Its all a lie, because if a person really “keeps it real” then that person would not wear deodorant, would not bath or wash. etc (because that is truly keeping it real).

A woman walks down the street wearing a hair weave and fake nails. Then she runs into her friend and says, "Yeah its true. I got fired, but I told off my boss again. You know I'm keeping it real."

keeping it real

A black person's excuse for being ignorant or doing ignorant shit. The person who says that they are "keepin' it real" usually claims to be denying pop culture and sticking with their own thing.

Chris Rock had a good description:

Rock: Nothing makes a nigger happier than not knowing the answer to your question:
(first person):"What's the capital of Zaire?"
(nigger):"Shit, I don't know that!....Keepin' it REAL!"
Rock: Yeah, real DUMB!

keeping it real

When a black celebrity/athlete gets into trouble and his teamates/black commentators/BET media say he's "Keeping it real", as if it were assumed he is supposed to act like that. It is more or less a black-on-black racist term. (White people don't use the term and are largely unaware of what it means.) It says that black people are supposed to get in trouble with the law, thusly "keeping it real"; being true to their race.

A lot of people probably said Kobe Bryant was "keeping it real" when he got into trouble, or when insert name basketball player got busted for marijuana possession, not realizing they are perpetuating the racism they try to fight at the same time.

keeping it real

the act of being yourself, usually by buying and wearing shit that everyone else has.

Wearing all this expensive brand name shit assures that I'm keeping it real.
