Overheard
Where: Virgin Megastore on Union Square, New York, NY.
When: 7/17/05 (This past Sunday)
The Perps: A few guys, hustling a few girls.
The Slang: "Lemme get your math," as in "Let me get your number."
Analysis: This may already be in common usage, but it's the first time we've heard it, and we like it. "Can I get your digits?" is yesterday's news (and plus, it could be interpreted as "can I get your fingers and toes?") and while "Can I get your number?" will never die (until we all communicate by mindbeam), it's good to have a handy alternative.
Just for Fun: The guys also insisted that the girls check out their profiles on MySpace. No joke.
