Kind of what I trying to go with. Crop and edge having to do with images, and then pun with edgy and crops. It’s not working all that well.
Well, the subverted expectations of “fresh” in terms of unspoiled agriculture to original humor is the makings of a pun. But not enough to utter unrelatedness of the two subject.
From the Urban Slang Dictionary, CROP:
A term used in Virginia (mostly Petersburg), referring to the way something is done or how someone is acting. It is usually used to say something/someone is lame or extra.
usage example:
Person 1: You know Daja got caught stealing some clothes from Pink yesterday.
Person 2: That’s CROP.
Not sure if this is the inspiration, it is really limited and regional in its use if it is.
@ John K. – My guess is that if that definition is not purely self-referential (many entries in the Urban Dictionary are crowd-sourced hogwash), then the meaning probably just represents a regional vowel shift (the “o” was probably originally an “a”). ;-)
In print media and graphic arts, “crop” is a verb… when you decide the boundary between which parts of an image to use, and which parts to leave out. Meanwhile, humor often involves finding the outer regions of which jokes can be told successfully, and which ones lose the audience. Some are safe, some are not, and some are very close to the boundary. Hmmm. “crop” meaning to set the boundary, and “edgy” meaning something close to the boundary, plus deadline.
I’m trying to work with the different definitions of “fresh,” as in “Fred was getting awfully fresh with sue, telling her edgy jokes, until she slapped his face.” But edgy jokes are how you get fresh with your crops, not how you keep your crops fresh, so it still won’t work for me.
I don’t get the initial question; is it just a forced way to get to a CIDU response? Is that a way to ask “How do you keep your crops from spoiling before they go to market?” Is this the kind of question Peter would find so interesting?
