02br
00Female: "No, I will put you on hood" 02br

0I would guess that 'hood' is actually 'food', but I can't make an idiomatic phrase out of the 'put you on' part. 0-

0Maybe, "hook you on food"? 02br
02br
00Is it used expression? 02br

0Nope. The two speakers are making an offer and a counter-offer, as if they were each offering to pay for the meal (or conning the other into paying for it). But I cannot think of a phrase that makes sense and sounds like 'put -- on food'. To 'put-- on a diet' is a stock phase, but does not work here, either. I hope another member has a better imagination than I. 0-

00'No, I'll put you on good.' 02br

0The speakers were all white detectives. So, afro-american basis does not apply here. 02br
02br
00They were saying that stepping out of the police office. 02br
02br
00Mister Micawber, your idea seems to be the most reasonable among all the guesses. 02br
02br
00In that case, what could it, 'I'll put you on hold.' mean? 02br
