A phrase used by people of the broke variety. When someone is "on my ankles", this generally means they are bad with their money and are unable to accompany you and various other friends in your hoodrat shenanigans. Often times used by minorities but the phrase is universal. Anyone can be on their ankles at any given point in time.
