/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho")/
To beat someone to something, snag it before they can react, a spot in line, a parking space, or even a person's affection. It's that frustrating moment when you lose something by a split second.
“Someone snagged the parking spot right before me by one second.”
“I wanted to buy the last one but someone beat me to it.”

Breadcrumbing
Giving minimal signs of interest to keep someone hooked without any real intention of getting serious. Emotional breadcrumbs: a like here, a random message there, just enough so they don't forget you but never enough to move forward.
