Hello all.

Expression "wet your beak"
what does it mean?
 
To drink some alcohol (your first drink) or to get your share of a criminal venture.
 
To muscle in on someone else's action. To take a piece of the pie.

When Johnny Sack moved to Jersey, he claimed "I'm not looking to wet my beak." But Tony Soprano knew otherwise.
