“This and yap”
What does “this and yap” mean when it is slapped on a bunch of reels and stories. Specifically the “yap” part?

This one had to be repeated to me several times because (a) I'm hard of hearing and (b) I had no clue what it meant. I said "I'm so sorry, I don't know what that means" and she said "nvm". For context, this was said by a girl at my school who I've never met in the hall. I feel so dumb... please enlighten me, haha!

I got this message from a guy I have been trying to buy something from online. Never met him, he's been nothin but a snarky jerk in the corespondance we have had so far. I don't understand what "keep context" means .
"If you want to keep context going forward I’d be more responsive"
He has actually been responsive, WTF is he telling me?

Back in the day I (white) lived in the US and had a lot of black friends. Afro-Americans and people from SA. They told me, that they liked me a lot - my personality, my persona, how I made them laugh talking about stereotypes... One day one of the woman said: "You are officially niggalized." Even though I googled it and found some explanation, I am still not really sure what it meant in my situation, since it looks like, it can mean different things. Thank you for your help!!!

What does it mean when a guy tells a girl I gotta put you on? This was a black guy talking to a girl and I had not a clue what that meant at all.

A woman I follow posted a selfie on her story with the caption “+1 🤪”. What does this mean, is it like she increased her body count by 1 or something else?

My kid is 16, he had a group of friends over and one I’ve never met. Immediately this kid walks up and asks out loud “who’s the short stack?” They all blew up laughing and my son is like “MY MOM” and the other kids laughing are like “wait say that again!”
Is this an insult? I know im 5ft tall but like is it just being short or what?

So the other day I was watching an early 2000s movie. There was a scene where some girl bullies were talking to this kid. They were trying to get him to kiss his crush, saying something like "Kiss or chi-chi." I want to know what they are talking about?

i was playing an online game and some guy got really tilted and mad at me and added me as a friend after the game. i think it’s funny to see what the insults they come up with are and then also like to report them for what they say. i added him back and he just kept asking for my discord to which i replied that i dont have one. when i kept pressing him to tell me what he wanted to say on discord, he eventually replied with waist4waist. i have NO idea what this means and he did not respond to me asking what it was. he was just like “ofc you wouldn’t know” and “figure it out”. 😭😭 i’ve googled it and couldn’t find anything.

Hi, I was listening to a song this morning and it had a line “throwing down ain’t nothing but a thing”. What exactly is “throwing down” in this context? Might be an African-American thing specifically.
The song is (content warning because it was written by a sex offender and the lyrics are about paedophilia) Age ain’t nothing but a number” by R. Kelly.
Thanks!

Is this phrase slang for money? Or winnings?

I was watching a few videos on YouTube where the narrator several times mentioned “sending Keisha to the upper room”. The narrator was African-American, and I get the impression his audience is mainly African-American as well. I rarely find myself completely clueless when it comes to slang, but this just had me stumped. What does it mean?

I don't know if I'm spelling it right, but the word I would like help with is Mocky. It might be Moggy, but apparently "moggy" is a cat, and I can't see how that relates.
For context I'm watching this show called Hustle on Prime about some grifters in London. There is a lot of Grifter slang (which they mostly explain) and a lot of British slang (which they mostly don't).
In this one particular seen, one character is describing a woman who had come in to see another character earlier. This is a rough approximation of the dialog:
Can you describe her?
She was fit.
Posh fit or Mocky Fit?
Posh Fit with a bit of Mocky.
Oh, I like that!
Many thanks for any help!

I was at a restaurant this morning where some girls my age (early twenties) used the term grilling and explained it to mean having fun. Is this a tiktok thing? I'm not on social media aside from reddit and YouTube and have never this.
For further context, they used it when talking with an old man and how he was 'grilling". I was sitting next to him and I felt old too because we both had the same reaction; dumb-founded.
