What is 'we got you' meaning in this case? I can't figure out what 'we got you' is meaning in this context? *soph is not B, B is another* A : Soph, shoes on, we're going shopping. B : What about my lift to Josh's? A : Take your bike. That thing with wheels we got you for Christmas? B : Shopping for what? Why 'we got you' becomes like 'we prepared it for you'? That's so confused... :'(

We got you, in this case, means we gave you as a gift. It's very common to say that. For example "I got you a little something" or " I got her a new iPhone for Christmas" or "We got you a ticket to a concert for your birthday"

Okay, so it means "... that we bought for you..." It is just lazy casual speech. "<pronoun> got <pronoun>" usually means someone bought or somehow obtained something for someone else. "He went to the ocean and got me a seashell!" I'll also mention that this sentence "That thing with wheels we got you for Christmas?" is a way of implying that 'B' never uses the bike.... which they imply by describing the bike as if 'B' is not familiar with it. This is an example of sarcasm.
