The act of getting someone in trouble with
the police, a
supervisor, boss, etc...(Hence having them hemmed up).
The act of
violence towards another after sizing them up.
John- that dude got snitched on for slinging now he's all
hemmed up. Phil- yeah now them fuckers are taking him to the tailor.
Bill- look at Jim sizing up Paul, he's
probably thinking about taking him to the tailor.
Jenny- poor Kenny, look at them cops slipping the cuffs on him, they are taking him straight to the tailor.
