with it
In the know
With it means alert, aware, and mentally sharp: I hadn't had my coffee yet and wasn't really with it.
The phrase also describes someone who is fashionable or up-to-date with current trends: She's always been pretty with it when it comes to music.
The opposite states—confused, sluggish, or out of touch—are captured by not with it.
