I was about to use this word in an email to refer to its recipient, as in:
I was the guy who nabbed you as you were leaving to ask about ...
I'm going for a friendly, familiar tone. Is my usage of 'nab' inappropriate?
Looking it up in the Oxford Dictionary:
verb (nabs, nabbing, nabbed) [with object] informal
catch (someone) doing something wrong:
the Feds nabbed a suspected terrorist
take, grab, or steal (something):
Dan nabbed the seat next to mine
