Inconsistency with denotation no. 20 of get

[edit]

I quote point number 20 of get:

„(transitive, informal) To catch out, trick successfully.“

Example given:

„He keeps calling pretending to be my boss—it gets me every time.“

Here the meaning of catch out seems to be the opposite of what is said in this article.

thanks for clarifying, KaiKemmann (talk) 14:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
