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.

Low Take

An unnecessary and undeserved insult or opinion. Said out of jealousy with the intent to throw a blow at a person’s ego.

Low take, that dress she’s wearing looks like she stole it from Queen Elizabeth’s closet.

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

Taking on the Roll

Committing one's time to a job or task that goes beyond what is required for the sole purpose of acquiring currency or favor. A step above, "getting this bread".

I just started this job but I am taking on the roll. I'm not just getting some bread, I'm taking on the whole roll.
