Vocabulary
Word "hustle" in the American english
Hi guys,
could you please help me with this word in the following context? A mother is watching her two kids playing with the ball. She's screaming on them: "Oh, hustle! Hey, Jeff, give him a break.
The ball is bigger than he is."
Please what's meaning of this word here? Is she saying: "C'mon let's go!" or "That was a swindle!"( one of many meanings of this word ). The whole thing which I'm able to see in that scene is that two boys started the american fotball game...You know what I mean, one of them is bended over and passed the ball to the other boy. That's all.
thanks in advance
Best Regards
JCD

Hustle is a very common word used to mean "go faster, hit harder, use more energy, concentrate harder" It is typically shouted during football matches, since football is a very physical sport.
