Touch someone for

Hi,

Is the phrase 'touch someone for something' used or should I substitute it for something else in the following example?

A:"Will you be paying for this in cash or by credit card?"

B:"In cash, I touched my husband for some money." (meant in a funny way)

Thank you.

Ann225B: "In cash, I touched my husband for some money."

It's used in American English.

The verb "touch" is valid here. But B is not worded quite right. It should be, for example:


B: "In cash, my husband's. I touched him (up) for the money."
