Twisted My Arm: Convinced Someone Reluctantly

When someone says "twisted my arm," it means they were persuaded or convinced to do something reluctantly or under pressure.

 It's like saying they were convinced to do something they weren't initially inclined to do. 

When someone twists your arm, it suggests a degree of coercion or insistence that ultimately led to compliance.

For example: “I didn't want to go but Linda twisted my arm.

I hope this helps!
