âIâd tap thatâ
This phrase is a condensation of the colloquial expression:
âIf only I could tap and sell that.â -or-
âYou could tap and sell that.â
The expression is derived from the practice of tapping a keg of beer, or cask of wine; âwhereby a spigot valve is inserted into the side of the keg, in order to tap the beer.
The expression figuratively means: âTo access something of valueâ
In the last decade, the expression has been further condensed to simply:
âYou can tap thatâ -or- âIâd tap thatâ
It is often used in conjunction with a sexual connotation.
In observation of an attractive female:
"I'd tap that"
