I Keeps -- short for I keep it real

Backround/History

Ever since that fateful Dave Chappelle Episode this word has highly overused by white people everywhere

Usually in fandom. When a fan likes a character or actor/celebrity, they might say "Can I keep him?" implying that they wish they could take him home. Not necessarily sexual, but can be. Keep like a pet because he's cute.

Can I keep you? means to protect someone and have them protect you, it's when you've had nothing else to depend on and are longing for a companion. A quote made famous by the movie Casper (1995)

A phrase used to symbolize how you play, if you play for keeps you are the ultimate player and you owned everyone.

When playing a game of marbles, you keep the marbles that you win from the other person.

No one loves me and no one cares about me.
