Heard on The Judges: "hit on [someone]" = suggest to [someone]"

[Wilson Gray]

Forty-ish, white male speaker:

"She [my second wife] _hit on me_ several times, your honor, [saying,]
'Wouldn't it be better for us, if [your son] Tristan wasn't always
around?'"

-Wilson
–––
All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.

-Mark Twain
