“Cheese, it’s the cops!”
Wait, I thought “cheese” is what the cops do to you when you try to “lam.” I didn’t know you can “cheese” from the cops too.
It’s “cheese it.” It’s trying to get your confederates to stop what they’re doing because a cop is coming. You then turn away from your crime and start whistling innocently.
“Cheese it man,its the fuzz”,also “Lets beat feet cherry tops!” would be acceptable.
