Take the L

"L" stands for Loss. Originally used to describe one's disposition of engaging in an activity that he/she does not particularly like.

A typical comment made by 12 year olds while arguing on mainstream Youtube music videos.

Oftentimes spammed or used at irrelevant situations.

-I totally flunked my math exam yesterday...
-Just take the L bro.

take the fall

Something bad happened, someone is going to get blamed and suffer the consequences of the act. Righteously, it should be the person who planned it, but, everything is negotiable. Someone else goes to jail, and in return, he is owed a favor. Or maybe, he just gets set up. This 1940's film noir gangster term is finding a new cachet.

You shot him brother so don't look at me like that. I'm not gonna take the fall for you.

Take Away Show

An impromptu concert performed usually while walking down a street. Usually performed in France, always performed by an indie band. If it's a true take away show, it will involve some obscure instruments.

Did you see the Bowerbirds' Take Away Show on youtube? My band is doing that over fall break, but with a glockenspiel instead of an accordian.

take out the trash

1) To move the garbage from indoors to outdoors so that the sanitation people may take it to a landfill.
2) Term used, usually in movies, where the good guy gives the bad guy(s) what's coming to them.

"It's time to take out the trash!" said the hero before he bludgeoned the villain with a lead pipe.
