A versatile American slang term with several meanings: primarily it means a casual sexual encounter or the act of connecting with someone for sex without commitment. More broadly it can mean to meet up with someone socially, or to supply someone with goods (sometimes drugs). The sexual sense is now the dominant meaning in contemporary American English.
