Talk:take it out in
Latest comment: 3 years ago by Equinox
More, from John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873):
- Take it out, to obtain value for money, labour, etc. A rich man is said to “take it (i.e., his money) out in fine footmen, fine feeding,” etc. A poor man “takes it (i.e., his trouble) out in drink.”
