On the thing
"Pon di ting" is a Jamaican Patois expression that literally means "on the thing", but its meaning varies based on context. It's a slang phrase often used to describe someone who is actively involved in something, doing well, or fully engaged, especially in situations like a relationship, a plan, a hustle, or a sexual encounter.
Patois: Mi deh pon di ting rite now
English: I’m handling my business right now
