TOEFL listening lectures: What does the professor say about utopian socialists?[YSaerTTEW443543]
I have never heard anyone say it here in the United States. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
There is a Michael Jackson song - Why You Wanna Trip On Me.
Could it mean make fun of or explore someone?

Hope this helps,
