The term hi-lo is used in the situation in which one refers to the future as a type of “present tense”. For example, if someone says “On the hi-lo, gimme a drink right now”, this would mean that they are asking for a drink immediately when the time comes in a little bit. In other words, the person saying “On the hi-lo” is making a hypothetical situation where the future, or “ln a bit”, is the present, and they are referring their requests to it.
