Have a piece of someone.
Hi folks,
Can you please describe me, what does it mean if I'd say that I have piece of someone???? Again, I have an opinion about the meaning of this phrase, but I'm not sure. So that's why I'm asking..;-)..Some examples, what I found..
This is from the recap of the NHL match between Rangers and Lightinings...
With 25 goals, Prucha was on pace to challenge the Rangers' rookie record of 36 goals, set by Tony Granato in 1988-89. Prucha was skating along the right wing wall when he stopped to avoid the hit from Stevenson, only to take a knee-on-knee hit. "I was just going for a hit and he stopped," Stevenson said. "I didn't even think I got a piece of him. Obviously, I feel bad. I'm not out there trying to hurt any kid."
Please did Stevenson say, that he thought he didn't even hit him ????
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Other example is from the criminal movie from the situation, where NYPD patrol found a car of the wanted killer, which was obviously ambushed by another group of thugs. They found a blood at his seat and so on...First responding cop commented this : "Looks like somebody got a piece of him."
-------------------------------------------
Here I'm not sure about the meaning of the "got a piece of him" phrase....Could it be expressed like: "Looks like somebody is using his methods..."??? This would perfectly fit into the context, but maybe it means "Looks like somebody is really angry on him"..I don't know.
Can you please help me with these two examples?
many thanks in advance.
And Merry Xmas to all of you and Happy New Year!!!!...;-)
with regards

Your first example is perfect, yes. I didn't think I'd hit him at all. For the second one, it means someone hurt him in some way.

You can alsy say (this one is slightly vulgar) "I'd like a piece of that!" as you look at a very attractive person, meaning you'd like to have *** with him/her.

The example I seem to hear most often is when an argument becomes heated and physical action is threatened. "Do you want a piece of me?" is like saying, "Do you want to go outside and settle this thing?"
