Hi,
I heard this scentence many times all in action movies but found it hard to fathom. It's when a team of soldiers(or gunners) are searching a house, then someone hears something. He shouts, "We got company!" Shortly afterwards, enemies soliders show up.
What I don't understand is that what they call "company" isn't really company. It's actually enemies or intruders. Is the speaker trying to be funny or something?
Is "we got company" a expression specifically used in this combat setting?
Thank you!
