take up with

1930's expression for "fuck" (vulgar) or "see" (polite). You hear this expression in old movies, or recent movies (like Get Low) which is about the 1930's.

In the old days we'd say, "When did you take up with Sallie Mae?-- after all she's a married woman." Today we would say, "When did you start seeing Sallie Mae?" Or, "When did you start fucking Sallie Mae?"

Take it on the hop

This means be gone, or beat it. Get out out of here.

So last Friday Steve's friends made such asses out of themselves that I had to take it on the hop without saying goodbye.

take off

a Canadian phrase that was made popular in America with the 1982 winter hit "Take Off!" by comedians Bob and Doug MacKensey. Geddy Lee of Rush provides the actual singing between "verses" that are pretty much spoken by the comedians. Bob and Doug would go on to more success with their Christmas hit, the movie "Strange Brew", and more.

Take off! To the Great White North. Take off!

taking it slow

A guy that sleeps with a girl but doesn't want a relationship and doesn't want to hurt her or vice versa

I had a great time this weekend, but I think we should be taking it slow and really get to know each other.

Onion-take

Where a reader absentmindedly scrolls through their social media or news feed and encounters an article too strange or too sad to be real. The reader then reflexively reverses scroll direction to verify if the article is a piece of satire or authentic news.

Named for a portmanteau of Onion, a satirical news outlet, and the double take.

Alex was prompted to Onion-take while scrolling Facebook, and found themselves horrified to learn that the article about competitive-eater Kobayashi being beaten by Chris Christie was posted by BBC News and not The Onion.
