NotMidUser [#3]It’s different in English. It just meant her emotions took over her rational mind
ahh got it.
"emotions got the best of me" does not mean in any way that what she said was good
"emotions got the worst of me" does not make sense as a saying
saying that emotions got the best of her means that she let her emotions take over
not defending her, feel free to criticize her for what she said but purposely taking words out of context is not the "gotcha" moment you think it is
Nachtel [#9]In english best can mean "take over" or "to win against" not just "good".
To best someone is to beat them, and for emotions to get the best of you, it means they they overtook your self-control
understandable
