[Idiom] "Had Us All in Our Feelings"

[en_buff]

What exactly does this phrase mean, and what's the grammar behind it, like what meaning the verb "had" has in this idiom/phrase?

Thanks in advance for your input and answers.

We need context. At least a full sentence and probably more would be helpful.

For example. "There were some scenes in this movie that had us all in our feelings."

I just Googled the phrase and came across some variants of the expression, like "She has got us all in our feelings again." Does this have a slightly different meaning?

 

[MikeNewYork]

It seems to mean that it stimulated their emotions/feelings.

 

[en_buff]

Is this a common expression, and what does "had" mean here, "caused us to be"?

 

[Rover_KE]

It's not a common expression. I've never heard it in 75 years as a native speaker.

Where did you encounter it?

 

[teechar]

I've never heard it before.

I encountered it in an article but can't find it right now. However, here are a few places on the Web where it's used: https://www.google.com/search?q=has...e&es_sm=0&ie=UTF-8#q="had+us+in+our+feelings"

Could this expression be specific to a certain region, or even city, in the U.S., or another English-speaking country?

I think it's rubbish. It doesn't mean anything.

Thanks a bunch for all your input. It looks like it's a nonsensical (or at least a very young) phrase/idiom, indeed.
