and how to use it?
  

Top answer

'Barely touched' = eaten hardly any of. 'Prime rib' is just a cut of meat. Use the phrase in casual conversation when your dining companion seems to be eating very little of her meal or a particular dish, and you wish to inquire about the state of her hunger or health.

I didn't see the movie, at least not the complete movie, because I turned it off after about 15 minutes. So, I don't know what GG means.
