What is the meaning of "have...down" in this sentence?
"I just didn't have you down as a career bitch. More someone who mucked around in a shop."
I saw this sentence from the TV show Miranda. I have no idea of the meaning of "have you down" in this sentence. Could someone explain it for me? Thank you a lot~

Question

Answer

Hi there!

It basically means they didn't know or think she was a "career bitch".

Like this:

I didn't have you down as as an iTalki student!

This means I didn't think you were an iTalki student.

Hope it helps!

Answer

The speaker basically didn't know the other person was a "career bitch". This little phrase, to "have someone down", is slang and it means to know something or make a guess about someone's personality and interests.

I hope this helped!
