STANDING ON BUSINESS: Keeping Your Word
Definition: “Standing on Business” is teen lingo that means staying true to your word. It’s about following through on a commitment, and not folding under pressure. It’s not just talking the talk — it’s walking the walk with aura and focus.
Usage: I’ve heard — and even dropped — the phrase “standing on business” a lot recently. At school, one classmate clashed with another over the timing of a math test. After some back and forth, he finally said with conviction, “Standing on business — the math test is today!” (I knew the exam was that afternoon, but I didn’t want to get in the middle of their argument.) Then, on the golf course last weekend, I used the expression myself. Before our 9-hole match, I told my friend Alex, “Standing on business, I’m shooting a 50 or less!” And lo and behold, with a mix of determination and maybe a little overconfidence, I shot a 48.
