Re: "To Light Into"Posted by S. Ryan on March 06, 2003 In Reply to: Re: "To Light Into" posted by ESC on March 06, 2003 : : Any idea as to the origin of the phrasal verb "to light into"? Thanks in advance for any help. : I'll have to research the origin. The meaning is to fight someone -- go at him/her with fists flying. : Agreed with ECS and not sure of origin, but of course, "to light out" has a different meaning, as in to leave, head out or depart in a hurry.
