Slang?
[edit]The article, in the plot summary, includes the following passage:
Shawn McArthur (Channing Tatum) is a street hustler, one day when selling counterfeit iPods and books at the corner of Radio City Music Hall he is set up on by some youths.
Now, I am not a native speaker of English, but I have read more than my share of English writing. I don't believe this is proper English and should perhaps be clarified in the article. However, I have no idea what "set up on" means, so I am unable to do so myself. From the context, I would assume that he was assaulted by the youths. Anyone?

- Set up on means attacked. The word "set" has over 126 meanings, the most in the English language. Darrenhusted (talk) 20:40, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is slang. Dozens of words in the English language have dozens of different meanings. I am a native speaker and had no clue what the phrase meant. Either way, I'm removing it for clarity's sake.Kp.murphy (talk) 14:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
