Hit sb up
Hi teachers~.
I have a question about hit sb up.
I looked up and found out that it means ask sb for help.
What I would like to know is if you use this expression as often as ask sb for help.
I don't know I might have missed it even when I heard it but it is very unfamiliar.
I teach English to adults.(not school)
Do you think it's worth teaching the expression or ask sb for help is enough?
Are they interchangeable or not?
Some videos that I have watched said it is common.
Thank you in advance.
