English term or phrase: to be (up) in one's jock (US)
Purtroppo non ho molto contesto e si tratta di un audio, quindi non sono sicura al 100% della formulazione. Si tratta di una ragazza che vuole far sapere ad un ragazzo che "she wouldn't be up in your jock". Poi viene ripetuta una frase simile riferita al ragazzo: "I don't think he wants anyone in his jock".

Di cosa si tratta? Mi scuso sin da ora se la frase ha un doppio senso che non colgo...

Grazie!

Explanation:
In questo contesto, direi che lei vuole far sapere al ragazzo che non è una ragazza interessata/venale.

Vedi tu se può andar bene...
