take a number

Used to tell someone to wait their turn for something, such as to speak with a person or to ask a person for something. Taken from the system of hospitals and pharmacies of taking a piece of paper with a number on it from a big red roll and waiting for your number to come up on the screen. When your number came up, you were served.

Take a number, honey, I'm way too busy right now.

Hard to give a shit when you have to take one

The unignorable barely containable urge to take a crap.

For example: You and your mother hurriedly crossing a busy street to the nearest bathroom when she suddenly falls down as you see a bus in the distance quickly closing the gap between it and her. You scream an apology without missing a step asking the other pedestrians to please help her in lue of you trying to save her and shitting your pants in the middle of the road.

This would be a case of it being hard to give a shit when you have to take one.

take a Gwen

A nap that is intended to only be less than an hour but instead lasts 4 hours.

I meant to take a quick nap but accidentally took a Gwen and missed going.

I took him I wouldn’t be long, but I think I’ll take a Gwen instead.

I take debit

The crafty phrase that the homeless man outside the 7-11 responds with after asking you to spare some change. You must say that you are paying for your items with a debit card to trigger this response from the clever, yet annoying, homeless man.

Homeless man: Hey, can you spare some change
Justin: Nah, I am paying with my debit card
Homeless man: I take debit

Take it like the red cross

A street phrase meaning if you want my money/drugs/property, you're going to have to fight/kill me to get it.

Would be robber: Give me your money!

Not a victim: Take it like the red cross.
