What does that mean "She axed me for some more."?

Question

Is it slang? Or have to take it directly?

I think it's from the lyrics of Hip hap singer Schoolly D(P.S.K.)'s song.

Answer 1

Most likely the person is "aks(ed)"/"ax(ed)" as equivalent to "ask(ed)".

This pronunciation is not Standard Modern English, as many have pointed out. BUT it was NOT invented in the black community, nor is it the result of an ignorant mistake. Rather, it is simply a dialectal variation within English. In fact, BOTH "aks" and "ask" are found in Old English and in the Middle English writing of Chaucer.

In 17th century England, "aks" was the standard in one of the four major British dialects of the early American settlers.

"From 1642-1675 the Royalists, also called Cavaliers, fled from the south and southwest England with their indentured servants and settled in Virginia when the English Civil War against Charles I began. They brought with them their south England drawl (a drawing out of the vowels); they also brought such phrases as aksed (instead of asked), and ain't (instead of isn't). Royalists later settled the Carolinas as well. Southern English speech laid the foundation for the development of American Tidewater speech, or Coastal Southern English."

Since it was this group that held most of the black slaves, their dialect --including "aks"-- is the source of that pronunciation among certain parts of the black population today.

Ax is the "ebonics" form of ask. Ebonics is a way of "jive-speaking" originating in the black community.

One view is that black people faced adversity and are kept down in so many ways, such as having to placate to a white boss, etc. So when it's their own time, they can speak any way they feel comfortable. Of course, this generality is fading as our society continues to become more diverse and black indiviudals continue to achieve new levels of success.

"Ask" is obviously the proper pronunciation, but who determined that- probably an old white man. Instead of conforming to the way they "should be" talking, blacks may use ebonics in order to retake language and make it their own.

Some prominent black figures feel that this "ghetto talk" simply serves to keep poor black people down, as it is almost impossible in our society to use ebonics and rise to a high level of class and status. Proper english is usually a prerequisite in the business world.

However, as the hip-hop movement moved out of the ghetto and into the mainstream, opportunities arose for business-minded black individuals, who speak in street slang to achieve great success while not conforming their speaking style. This movement has actually influenced many white individuals to mimic the speech as well (though many educated white teens use ebonics mostly in jest). But because what was formerly "ebonics" is moving into the mainstream, the debate may eventually blur the striking distinctions between ebonics and "talking straight."

Still, best not to begin your next job interview with: "Aright yo, let me ax you this."

Answer 5

Well...such a statement would have to be considered in context, but I believe that what the speaker is saying is, "she asked me for some more." "Axed" is commonly used as a common slang term for asked.

Axed, is slang for ASK. I think it originated with the African Americans.

"She axed for some more" Meaning what ever you were eating, drinking, or doing at the time, she wanted more of.
