White female speaker, mid to late twenties:
"She stole my rent money, smoked up my weed, slept with my boy
friends," etc., etc. "She just _juiced_ me."
This use of "juice" is new to me. So, I went to the source. The Rap
Dictionary yielded the tautology:
"To squeeze the juice out of."
However, it also supplied the following cite:
"You can't juice Ice Cube, girl!" -- N.W.A. (I Ain't The One [1988])
Hence, I have altered the definition to read:
"To take advantage of someone."
