In this conversation, two people are debating, and Person A tells Person B:
“For your information, I was aware of it before it happened.”
(A is a coffee shop owner, and B is a customer)
Does this mean “I knew about it before you did”?
The phrase “before it was a thing” means you knew about or liked something before it became popular or everyone else started talking about it. It’s like saying, “I was into it before it became cool!”
