Okay this girl was a girl that I really like like (she's hot and outgoing and white) and I had stared at her for a million times and yeah I think she caught me staring at her. She even waved at me once while staring at her, but I didn't wave back for I thought she was waving to someone else behind my back, but actually she was waving at me. So sometimes I THINK I caught her staring at me well I know she is, and she stares at me for a long time once I caught he and when I was playing basketball. And also once, I was walking alone and I crossed over her and I was shocked like omg and then there she was walking by stared at my face first like I dunno, and then stared at my body like she was checking me out (I have an awesome body okay) but I think she was looking for my name for I was wearing my P.E. shirt and my name was there, and I saw her look at the back of my P.E. shirt coz there's an another tag name there, but I was using my jacket and she I saw her like she was disappointed and..

Does "pony up" mean "ante up" or "buck up" or a little of both?

(Pony up and ante up DO share a subject: money.)To ante up is to contribute to a pot or table stake that will give a gambling game some initial value. The players ante up if they want to be in the poker game. They must buy their way into each hand of the game.To pony up is to contribute to or even unwillingly pay for something. It’s from Latin, pone (pronounced “pony”) meaning “to put”. As examples:“Her birthday is tomorrow — Pony up $5 for your share of the party.” or“Congratulations on your promotion. You get to pony up for a round of drinks for the whole gang.” or“My left rear tire blew this morning. I’ve got to pony up $149 for a new one.”To buck up has nothing to do with a dollar or other money. It means to intentionally alter one’s state of mind, to stop being depressed or unhappy or sad, and raise one’s spirit, as in:“C’mon, dude, buck up! Don’t let your (obnoxious girlfriend, onerous job, life, whatev) get you down.” It’s synonymous with “cheer up.”

What does the sentence 'he walked/ran down the street' mean?
There are more elegant ways of expressing the meaning, but essentially it means that “he” both walked and also ran down a street; walked, then broke into a run, then after a time slowed and walked, then again ran—etc.The use of the forward slash is not, strictly speaking, an accepted grammatical device for expressing the idea of walking and running alternately, but it does save space and get the meaning across clearly (to a native speaker) and succinctly.
