Definitions
British street slang meaning to attack someone physically or to make an aggressive move toward them. Common in London and urban UK slang, 'moving to' someone is a serious threat or description of initiating a confrontation. It can also be used in a milder sense — to approach someone with romantic interest — but the primary street meaning carries real aggression. Frequently heard in grime music, road slang, and online arguments among UK youth.
