Hello,

Do 'to be over somebody' and 'to be all over somebody' have the same meaning?

Thank you.

I need more context, Rosemary. To be over someone = to have recovered from an infatuation with someone To be all over someone = to have completely recovered from an infatuation with someone OR to be angrily attacking/castigating someone OR to be too physically affectionate with someone.

Jamie Kennedy is over Jennifer Love Hewitt.-- He is not emotionally affected by her anymore. Now, where is your 'all over' quote?

I don't remember how I found it: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=290601&langid=18.

I don't have to ask questions about it, though. Everything is clear to me now
