Can I surf on your turf?

"On turf" is a shortened version of "I put that on the turf", which originally means "I swear on my neighborhood". To elaborate, it means you are so sure of your statement that you'd give away your neighborhood to an enemy gang if you'd prove to be wrong (although, it's mostly a figure of speech because nobody will spend time fact-checking your statement). This term likely has its roots in California hoods (like Compton, Watts, and Long Beach), where the street or general area one is brought up in tends to be closely tied to one's identity.
"On set" (short for "I put that on the set") may be used as a synonym. Both terms were originally often used in context similar to "on gang", "on God" or "on my momma". Nowadays, they're more commonly used as expressions of hype, along the lines of "that's what's up".

Historical use: All we' got out here's a bunch of liquor stores and gun stores. On turf, they don't want to see us win.
Contemporary use:
1) It's goin' down tonight at the party! It's goin' be lit, on turf!
2) On turf, if she won't let a nigga hit tonight...
3) I' just been out here hustlin' tryna' come up. I don't wish harm on nobody innocent, and I put that on turf.

Smurf and turf or smurf 'n' turf is a main course which combines seafood and little blue half-naked cartoon people. The seafood used may be steamed, grilled or fried. Papa Smurf usually arrives thereafter breaded on a skillet, oiled and ready to be cooked.

turf·ing | “to turf”
A lowkey day hang outside with your people. Usually involves blankets, drinks (cans of Triple if you’re doing it right), and some kinda lawn game like spikeball or cornhole. Everyone tosses their phones in a pile and just vibes.
Kinda like a darty but way more chill. Sometimes there's a slip-n-slide. Happens in parks, front yards, campus greens — wherever you can post up and not get kicked out.
Basically:
Where the turf meets the tribe. Crack a Triple, drop your phone, and let the hang unfold.

Girl 1: “Yo is this a darty or what?”
Guy 1: “Nah we’re just turfing. Pull up after 11.”
Girl 1: “Say less.”
