apparently meaning to keep something’s price on a tab..

“buy me some f-g’s on tick”
to acquire something immediately but pay for it later. most often used when buying drugs but quite valid for any kind of purchase.

there are thee possible origins of the term:

– the vendor keeps a list of who owes what, and “ticks” them off the list on payment
– the vendor has to wait, the clock is ticking
– the customer is a filthy parasite, like a tick on a dogs back.
customer: what sandwich can i get for six-fiddy?
vendor: sorry, sandwiches start at eight dollars.
customer: can i get one on tick?
vendor: i think not.
