The Second World War army recruit gets a letter from home with some news and, puzzled, goes to bis sergeant. “Sarge”, he says, “my wife’s sent me a letter saying she’s had a baby, but I don’t see how that can be - I’ve not been home for 15 months.” “Private,” the sergeant says to him, “that’s what we call a ‘grudge’ baby.” “Grudge baby, Sarge?” “Yes, Private - somebody’s had it in for you.”
That would be a case where he had to have it out for someone before he had it in for someone.
