idiomget the drop on sb AmEAmEif you get the drop on someone who you are competing or fighting with, you do something before they do or better than they do:Armed robbers got the drop on an air freight company employee, police say, and even used his forklift to help them cart $400,000 worth of CDs into their truck. The way it goes in this business is, if you don't get the drop on them, they'll get the drop on you.
