pick someone's brain

Definition: To get ideas from someone, usually an expert.

Example: 1) I'd like to pick your brain about where the economy is headed in
 the next few years.

Etymology: 'Pick' means 'to choose' or 'to grab', and your 'brain' is where 
you think. So when you 'pick someone's brain', you grab some of their ideas.
