This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! 

This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! — This is an example of the literary reversal theme wherein a well known oft quoted line or trope is inverted to show another facet of meaning to the idea. This example occurs in the movie New Jack City that takes the famous trope “THIS IS NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS” and inverts it to make the point that ultimately narcotic drugs did destroy the uneasy symbiotic balance between the strange bed fellows: organized crime and organized policing.

In words of Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown in the same movie: MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT RUNS THE MARATHONS.

Can you say Iran Contra Drugs for Arms Scandal, boys and girls? I knew that you could!!!

No matter what anyone tries to pretend: IT’S ALWAYS PERSONAL TO SOMEONE.

ALWAYS.
Ice-T as Scotty Appleton in New Jack City: “This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! I want to shoot you so bad my dick is hard!!”

This is business; not personal. 

This is business; not personal. — “THIS IS BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL”, is perhaps the most seminal teaching; and, the most valuable lesson taken from the movie The Godfather. The rule foreshadowed the coming age where corporations would be considered as people and the lives of individuals would be over shadowed by the need for a corporation to continue unobstructed.

One aspect of this teaching is urging a warrior or a holy man (see Godfather 3) never to lose his or her objectivity when faced with facts.

Another aspect of this teaching — which is somewhat ironic — is that a “business decision” is always “personal” to someone. And, if you ever woke up in a bed beside a severed horses head; or, been machine gunned while pinned in a New Jersey toll booth; then the personal aspect of “business decisions” would be crystal clear.

This rule also come into sharp relief if you have ever been replaced by a machine or a non-union worker who will work for less money than you would.

It’s hard to believe that with a of the people who quote both Scarface and The Godfather, this sentence has not found its way into The Urban Dictionary in the year before 2023 C.E. That said I offer it here — and my offering is strictly business and not personal.
Amazon just replaced thousands of individual human employees with computer automation and scanners; but, This is business; not personal.

Personal Persia

A online youtube channel that features Canadian-Iranian actress/comedian Roxanne Persia.
I heard about the "Persian Version" of Jersey Shore from Personal Persia!

Sounds like a personal problem 

When someone has a problem and expresses it out loud
John:I can't find my stuff.
You:You know what that sounds like?
John:What?
You:That sounds like a personal problem.
John:Fuck you.

John:I think I got something from that girl last night.
You:Sounds like a personal problem.

John:I hate my life.
You:Sounds like a personal problem.

personal blunt 

Marijuana rolled in a swisher or bluntwraps for one's personal use; a blunt. Blunts can only be defined as personal blunts if it is only for 1 individuals enjoyment. Nobody else may hit/toke/drag/rip from the blunt.

The term "personal blunt" may be shortened to "personal" if phrased correctly. Ex: "I was smoking 'personals' in the cuts of the SFC today"
Cutty #1: "Damn you know them kids in the SFC?
Cutty #2: "I've heard about them, I've heard they smoke hella personal blunts!"
Cutty #2: "Thats cause they G!"
