English classes

As more I learn an English the more I don't understand anything!
Here's the phrase:

Just like a "G" Dawg on a fly tip flossin' with the posse, cuttin' in the crib.

What it does? It is from the movie "Money talks" 1997.
"G" Dawg it is G-Man or what? That's insane!

Does it mean - the bread tomorrow is better than jam the day after? Or no pain - no gain? Or what?


Here's the sample from the mentioned movie.

Hi Lockie

It's just black gangster talk. Full of abbreviations, slang and other trash talk. It has very little to do with proper English. How different is Ukrainian to Russian?

Hi, Witt88
OK, I see now. Thank you for explanations. I hope my English well
black gangster talk is not my area of learning.

How different is Ukrainian to Russian?

This is good question! Ukrainian is a Slavic language. Russians don't understand it. For example, I do understand Byelarus language ~ 90% According to my experience, when I visited Poland, Croatia I could understand approximately 30% (because of the common roots) the other was terrible mixing of English and German words
There is only one common feature between Ukrainian and Russian language this is Cyrillic alphabet. It was borrowed by Moskovitians in 1721 when they became Russians, before they used Uyghur alphabet. That's why in our country we've discussion when we'll switch to Latin alphabet.
I know many ppl who lives in Ukraine for many years (more than 20 years) and they still don't understand Ukrainian.

In this case "like a G" means like a gangster I would surmise. I'm not fluent either.

Here's the new sentence.
We don't need to hold four aces if they think we hold 'em
Does it mean the poker' player wants to cheat his opponent?
The translation is - we'll cheat our opponents.
It is from the movie Sgt. Bilko.

Just by reading the quote I take it that it means bluffing is as important as actually holding the cards.

"We'll cheat our opponents" is incorrect. Bluffing (betting as if you hold a better hand than you really do) is an important part of Poker and is in no way cheating.

OK, I see.

"We'll cheat our opponents" is incorrect.  Bluffing (betting as if you hold a better hand than you really do) is an important part of Poker and is in no way cheating.

Can I tell that mentioned sentence has two meanings?
- for the poker game
- as cheat, according to the movie, because the hero is trying to cheat his opponent to get rid off him?
For example, I want to pretend that I'm rich man thus u may borrow me the money, because u're very suspicious man.
Let's cheat him to believe we've four aces!

Here's my new phrase.
I'm going to lose my shit - I'm getting nervous.

It's a vulgar expression . But it's more forceful than getting nervous it means you are about to panic and run or flee.

Like frinik said, it is a vulgar form of "I'm going to lose my composure."

Here's another expression Lockie. This one is English (UK): Don't get your knickers in a twist! It means don't get upset or angry or overly stressed. Knickers in ancient times were loose fitting pants and later became of word for womens' panties(underwear).

Remember Lockie; if you get your knickers in a twist you could very well lose your shit!

Well, that sounds a bit complicated for me. OK, may I use it as:
Don't twist my knickers or u'll lose your shit very quickly
It does - I'm not afraid.

Speaking of shit there's a very popular expression in the English-speaking world. When the shit hits the fan". It means when bad developments or news are about to hit you or somebody else it will a definite impact.

The expression has become popular beyond the English language. In German now they adopted and use the expression ein " shitstorm" to describe a fiery and partisan controversy or a heated debate( usually political) which is turning into a scandal.
