Atlanta police charged 30-year-old Phelan Thorpe after he allegedly attacked her in Midtown on Saturday, then stole and crashed a police car on Monday. The next day, Coleman discovered an unnerving message saved to her stolen phone's voicemail greeting.
"I don't even give a f— about the phone no more," the man's voice said. "I'm gonna come air that b—- out, on God. Boy, when I found out I [had] your ID, f—- that, shorty, I need $600 on my cash app."

Is “I’m gonna come air that b—- out” a new slang phrase? To air out?

A concealed carry person could have stopped the robbery and saved decades of future victims.

What an appropriate name. Pronounced Felon.

In standard English, the phrasal verb air out is applied to issues, rooms, or grievances, not to people as a direct personal object. You can air out an argument, but you do not traditionally “air someone out.”

So the attacker may have picked the phrase up from reading Chaucer, Wordsworth or Emerson. Now it comes clear.

Somebody whose body is riddled with bullet holes could be said to be “aired out”.

A certain ethnicity continually updates their low IQ slang. A new addition to their uneducated ebonics. Mostly so White people don’t understand what they’re saying, they have now almost successfully created their own language.
One more indication that all races are NOT equal.

Such problems used to be permanently solved with “a length of stout hemp rope”.
