To To it it rather so to beat someone to it.

So I beat you to it.
I did it before you did.
So let's say grandmother made some cookies and their fresh cookies and you say I'm going to try one of grandma's cookies and I say I beat you to it I beat you to it that means I already had one of grandma's cookies let's say John says he's going to take out the garbage and Dave says I beat you to it that means Dave already took out the garbage Dave already did it John was going to do it but Dave already did it this is a very good expressions a very common expression i want you to go to google and see how other people use it but first of all check out the dialogue i'm so going to buy that red dress oh
don't why not it's beautiful i look so good peggy already beat you to it Yeah, that's two women in that conversation.
Really. It was two women.
The first woman, I guess she's looking at a store or maybe a catalog and she sees a red dress and she says that she is going to buy the red dress.
It's a beautiful red dress.
She'll look very nice in the red dress, but the other woman says don't.
Don't buy it. because Peggy some other woman already beat you to it.
Peggy some other woman already bought the dress.
Now I don't know when it comes to guys you know, if guy A is wearing a shirt and I have the same shirt, we see each other and we think yeah all right brother good taste but my understanding is women if they wear the same thing they start to hate each other they want to kill each other that's true ladies women why do you do that be like guys yeah oh my favorite Oh, we like that stuff anyway beat Someone to it.
