Slang?! “Can I hold a dollar?”?

I rarely use slang, so I'm not familiar with its definitions. I guess I'm pretty attractive, as a lot of guys at school ask me out in various ways. I understand most of what they say, but one comment left me completely confused.

I was at the mall with my friends, and when I wanted to leave, no one else did, so I decided to go by myself. As I was heading out the door, I encountered a group of guys along with two popular girls. They called me over, and one of the guys asked, "Can I hold a dollar?" I responded that I didn't have a dollar, and they all burst out laughing, which was really embarrassing. I ended up leaving quickly. Can someone help me understand what that comment meant?

You wrote, "they called me over and i went..."

Well, there's your problem right there.

I mean, when you're in high school, whenever anyone "calls you over," you should always assume the worst is going to happen and not go over to them, and that way, they can't harass you or make fun of you or any of that stuff.

Next time, just make "Gosh, I'm sorry, but I'm really in a hurry" motions and keep right on walking.

Good luck!... ☺

That's not a common slang phrase. Google "can I hold a dollar" and all you'll find is this yahoo answers question. They made up some stupid inside joke and used it on you. They are probably the only 4 people on earth who know what it means, because they themselves invented it in a pathetic effort to create a cool club with secret passwords to join.
