In addition it is normal to include ones own tears as lubricant.
Example 1:
‘Toni: Hey Jays been in the bathroom for a while now…’
‘Rob: Yeah he’s probably having a crank over that really hot waitress that was being a bitch to him before.’
‘Toni: Yea, fo’shaw’
Example 2:
‘After Rachel rejected Tom at the funeral on Friday I think he went off for a pot noodle...and a crank back at his sister’s place where he’s staying at the moment’
Similar to getting crunk. It is to commense drinking, smoking, sniffing, etc. Anything that causes some type of "high" can be considered as to cause cranking.
What the fuck man??!! I'm on my fifth cup of Bud and you haven't started! Man get the cranking!!!! So we can all get cranked!
