run a fade

To “fade” someone is essentially the same as beating someone, be it singularly or in a group. The phrase “run a fade” is usually used during a confrontation, or if the confrontation is planned. To “run” said fade means that the belligerent parties will meet at another location to fight, or if one party is asking the other if they want the fight to start right then and there.


“I ain’t even playin’ with you or your boys’ shit no more. You wanna run a fade or not?”

Settler

Within a successful, seemingly stable relationship, the settler refers to the “better half“, who in essence settles with their partner. This person tends to be either more attractive, wealthier, smarter, personable or some other quality that would seemingly make their partner look inferior, to the extent that people begin to question why they would even date in the first place.

The opposite of a reacher


Looking at the Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri relationship, it is painfully clear that Janet (Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty) is a settler.
