get (one)
1. verb To thoroughly understand one's convictions, opinions, or personality. He just gets me—I don't even have to say anything, and he knows exactly what I need. A: "Sorry, I probably worded that really poorly." B: "No, no—I get you. It just took me a second, that's all." Like all fathers, I live in fear of my daughter one day announcing that the bad boy in class just "gets" her.
2. expression Look at one (typically so the speaker can mock them). Get him! What is that ridiculous outfit he's got on? Get the dork over there with the bowl cut. Get that piece of junk. I can't believe it made it down the street without breaking down!
