Jenny-jenny from Seattle, WaI love this song. My name is Jenny, it came out when I was in High School. In college a friend of mine would always sing to me, "Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to?" and "Jenny Jenny, you're the girl for me!" Love the song, love the memories!~ Joe from Los Angeles, Cain "family guy", stewie thinks this is his home phone number when he calls lois. Got, here is used to mean the same thing as have, which can also be used as a variant. To say “I’ve got your number” means “I have your number.” Mike from Clinton, MaIn addition to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel and Jennifer by Styx, this is another song between me and my girlfriend with the same name (Jenny)

Michael from Akron, OhI worked at a radio station in Florida when this song was a hit. A listener in the area had the same phone number and kept calling and threatening to sue us because of all the calls he was receiving. We kept playing it anyways. Don’t use it as a threat. Sure, it’s meant to let someone know you’re on to them but try not to say it in a way that makes you seem like the bad guy. How Did the Idiom I’ve Got Your Number Originate? I’ve got your number usage trend. From war times and numbered bullets to a popular idiom, I’ve got your number has indeed made quite a journey. This expression, which conveys an understanding of someone’s true nature or intentions, enriches our language by capturing a complex concept in a simple phrase.Cyberpope from Richmond, Canada& the reason 555 is used as a fake exchanfge is because there were no cities/exchanges starting with 2 letters of JKL (no such place as KLingon, NJ!)

Jme from Raleigh, Nci love this song! it's so catchy, although i feel sorry for people who have this phone number Exactly – it's not about having your telephone number. I knew when you asked me if I was rushing home you were after something. Hearing M. Paired from SighMy ENTIRE LIFE...thought the singer was singing "Benny!" Even up until a few days ago, I was still singing, "Bennnnnyyyy, I've got--your NUM-BER!" Up until a few minutes ago, I STILL thought that he was singing, "Benny!" The irony being, I know MANY "Jennys." Some have even called me "Jenny." Go figure. I’ve got your number means understanding someone so well that you can predict their actions or know someone’s true nature or intentions. It’s an idiom—a phrase whose meaning isn’t deduced from the literal definitions of the words it contains. In the English language, idioms enrich communication by adding color, depth, and cultural context. Merriam-Webster says that I’ve got your number means to be able to deal with or defeat someone easily especially because one knows or understands that person so well.Although this idiom is often given as ‘get someone’s number’ there is actually no such idiom. We never say “I will get your number.” Instead, the present perfect “I have got” is almost always used. The past perfect is possible also, as in “I had got.” The phrase’s origin and how it came to have its current meaning are somewhat unclear. Some sources claim it has to do with phone numbers and how everyone has a different number tied to them. So, knowing their number meant you knew where to reach them. OK Rob – if you say 'I've got your number' it means you understand what someone it trying to do or why they are behaving in a certain way. Read the room. Understand the context surrounding the situation before busting out an idiom like this. Well sort of. A friend of mine is visiting and I'd like to go for a drink her.
