like when they try to be better than you. It means to embarrass or to humiliate someone. An example could be as simple as a boy beating his friend (publicly) at goal-scoring in football, when his friend has been telling everyone else that he's the best player/goal-scorer. Usually, the phrase has got a competetive connotation to it (as in a situation in which a boy is trying/proving to be better at football than his friend), a "so there" attitude about it.
