get (one) right here

get (one) right here

To have a particular, significant impact on one. To illustrate what that impact is, "right here" is usually accompanied by a gesture to an appropriate part of the body (most often the heart, when something has affected one emotionally). Look at this sweet card from my sister—her words got me right here. Their wedding vows got me right here, and I teared up a bit.

get one right here

Fig. to affect one deeply in a specific way. (Usually accompanied with a hand gesture showing exactly where one is affected: the heart = lovingly, the stomach or bowels = sickeningly.) That sort of thing gets me right here. Pete clasped his hand to his chest and said, "That sort of thing gets me right here."
