What do they mean when they say, “the club is full of ballers and their pocket’s full grown?” [li]WTF is a “baller?”[/li]Is the “pocket’s full grown” phrase a sexual reference or implying they have a pocket full of money? ---

I’m pretty sure a baller is a guy. Their pockets are full grown with money. At least, that’s what **I** think!!! BTW, that song is THE JAM!!! ---

Baller: used to be a term for a basketball player. Now used as a reference to an attractive guy. “pockets full of chrome” was what I heard when the song’s on. Obviously refers to having lots of money. ---

Baller: A good looking guy a girl wouldn’t mind doing. Me and my associates (it sounds better to have associates than to have children) have gone back and forth on this issure. Is it rum? Chrome? My daughter insists it is some arcane slang and the word is grome. ---

I knew what baller meant but for the life of me I cannot figure out what they are saying. I keep hearing “their cock is full grown” but I’m pretty sure that is not what they are saying. 😕 ---

You mean people don’t know what a baller and their pockets full blown mean? A baller is well…a baller!! like a player… you know…oyvey… and pockets full blown means they have money. ---

Full of Chrome. Its how I hear it and not only am I a listener, but I went to Flint Central High School. I taught myself the ghetto trash accent. Surprises my mom every time she hears it. (My natural accent is pretty refined) A baller is a guy, a great guy, one of those “Oh my God I want him” guys you see at a club and just have to go after. Really shiny, really hip. I don’t do this.
