Going Full Common

To give a public expository speech using vague and uplifting rhetoric; spoken in a sing song rhythmic cadence; as though participating in an open mic poetry slam.

This description is based on the key poetic delivery style elements of rapper and slam poet Lonnie “Common” Rashid Lynn.

This expression was made popular by the Season 2 trailer of the series Woke. The expression will get old when people find their own approach to public speaking; and, stop biting other people’s style. Which — actually — means that this expression will be around for a while!
Damn! Did you hear him give that best man speech; he was going full Common celebrating the bride and groom. I can’t remember a word he said but it made me feel a lot better about jumping the broom.

an on going situation

an on going situation — a masterful piece of urban understatement. To say that you have “an ongoing situation” is saying that the shit has hit the fan and there is neither an end to the shit in sight; nor, any sign of the fan failing to rotate.
The health department has to close the rid shack down until further notice. The vermin problem had become an on going situation.

You goin to jail nah

The iconic phrase said by a Cleveland bus driver right before he gave the hardest uppercut given to a female by an old man. This can be seen in the viral video "Cleveland bus driver vs. woman" which millions have already witnessed. The victim (a very annoying and troublesome passenger) described it as "being in mortal combat (LOL). This phrase is now used to suggest that an uppercut/ass whipping is about to be delivered by the person saying said phrase.
