pructus  +  113614 Wed, 29 Jun 05 02:51 PM The expression, "put on hood" is a used one? And what does it mean? In the drama CSI, I think I heard the expression, "I will put you on hood" The situation was after the crime was solved and between the detectives. pructus Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 Full Member 429

	pructus  +  113787 Thu, 30 Jun 05 01:26 AM Thanks. The situation was after the crime was solved. A male detective to female detective ; "Are you hungry?" Female detective: "Yes" Male: "Let's go to eat. I will put you on hood" Female: "No, I will put you on hood" As I am not a native speaker, I am not sure I heard exactly that way. Can you lift up the clouds? pructus

	Mister Micawber  +  113814 Thu, 30 Jun 05 03:05 AM I would guess that 'hood' is actually 'food', but I can't make an idiomatic phrase out of the 'put you on' part.

	Mister Micawber  +  113824 Thu, 30 Jun 05 04:18 AM Nope. The two speakers are making an offer and a counter-offer, as if they were each offering to pay for the meal (or conning the other into paying for it). But I cannot think of a phrase that makes sense and sounds like 'put -- on food'. To 'put-- on a diet' is a stock phase, but does not work here, either. I hope another member has a better imagination than I. Mister Micawber

	Clive  +  113825 Thu, 30 Jun 05 04:37 AM Hi, A male detective to female detective ; "Are you hungry?" Female detective: "Yes" Male: "Let's go to eat. I will put you on hood" Female: "No, I will put you on hood" Hi, That's tough to guess. One thought: 'hood is afro-american slang for neighbourhood. Can we do something based on that? Another thought: If a NS says 'let's go to eat', I think a likely context in which they would go on to mention food is to discuss what kind of food. eg "Let's go to eat. I will hook you on Korean food" . What has the same sound and stress as what the questioner heard? Clive Clive

	Mister Micawber  +  113828 Thu, 30 Jun 05 04:51 AM 'I'll put you on hold.' 'No, I'll put you on hold.' To me, it's the reciprocity of the exchange that limits the options severely. Mister Micawber

	Clive  +  113839 Thu, 30 Jun 05 05:27 AM Hi, How about 'I'll put you on good.' 'No, I'll put you on good.' in the 'tease you' sense of 'put you on'? Perhaps they are the 'bantering buddies' type of cops. Clive Clive
