Hitting on
意味: Flirting with someone or making romantic advances toward them.
Hitting on someone is a direct, recognizable attempt at flirting. It can be welcome or unwelcome depending on context. Unlike subtle attraction, 'hitting on' implies the interest is obvious. The term can be neutral ('he was hitting on her at the party') or negative ('some guy was hitting on me and wouldn't stop').
