Oh no, she didn't!

Tell me, what's your definition of triflin'? I'm not sure if I'm even spelling it right. One of my old coworkers used to use it quite frequently. I just think it's kind of a funny word, although it's probably overused and I'm just a little slow.

I've heard it used as describing:

  • someone who is unclean/nasty
  • someone who is a cheater/sleeps around
  • someone who uses people for money
  • someone who's a manipulator
  • someone who's all up in your business

Come on, use it in a sentence!

Here's what urban dictionary had to say.

Update: Oh, okay - perhaps I should've used it in a sentence myself. Here are examples of how I've heard it:

  • "You should see how nasty her house is, and she don't even care - that's triflin'"
  • "She's trying to holla at my man! That triflin-ass ho!"
  • "He's triflin... living off his woman, ain't even trying to get a job."

are you confusing it with trifle/trifling, something of little value or importance, also a very small amount of something

a trifling matter.
a trifle of trouble.
he's trifling (wasting) away his time.

Am I the only one who's spent some time in "da hood"?

Yeah, I always thought it meant "lazy"...

Jim said...

the examples you added are quotes from your co-worker?????? where on earth do you work?

Nervous said...

Jim - not my current coworker, this is another example from when I worked at the drycleaners, which gave me enough crazy story fodder that it could be a blog of it's own.
