Mystery sentence of the night: ...y se pira toda la peña.

Question

Ok, I have just heard this in my favourite bar watching the match.

As a matter of fact, Madrid scored 6 goals!

Madrid 6 - Deportivo de la Coruña 1

So...as the fifth goal was scored the barman said:

Joeeee, mira, meten cinco goles y se pira toda la peña.

The challenge: Post the whole sentence in "real" Spanish;

And what did he mean?

Do not investigate on the web! I want to see what you thought or guessed not what you found out

No natives...especially not those from Spain If a native has no idea, then guess too, jeje , I was often quite lost when Gekko said some of his sentences.

• Heidita, just to help you the word is spelt 'mystery' with a 'y' not an i :) - FELIZ77 Oct 3, 2010
• Oops, I jthought it would be easier to just correct it for her. - LateToDinner Oct 3, 2010
• Funny, Heidi! ¡Un puntazo de frase! - cogumela Oct 3, 2010

Answer 1

Look, they've made five goals, and the whole crowd (all the fans) is clearing off (leaving)..

Edit: I forgot the "real" Spanish part. I suspect this changes a lot from place to place, as well.

Mira, meten cinco goles, y todos los aficionados salen.

• not exact, but good try;) - Heidita Oct 3, 2010
• The English or the Spanish? - KevinB Oct 3, 2010
• Actually, if the English is wrong they both would be, wouldn't they? - KevinB Oct 3, 2010
• hehe ... not exactly. Leaving is almost "salen", but very different to "se salen" - cogumela Oct 3, 2010
• Ah. I have a bad habit of doing that. - KevinB Oct 3, 2010

Answer 2

Just in case anyone wonders, "pirarse" is a word borrowed from the Gipsy dialect that was spoken in Spain, so it might not be in use in Latin America.

• en Argentina se usa pirado como ido, en más de un sentido. - mediterrunio Oct 4, 2010

Joeeee, mira, meten cinco goles y se pira toda la peña.

Okay, I'm trying again based on the answer from Gekkosan, Kevin, and Lorenzo.

Ah, s----t, look, they get five goals and the whole bar clears out.

You did say it was in a bar so please excuse the b.........

• and waht is b---??? - Heidita Oct 5, 2010
• sorry - can´t print it Heidita but rude word for cleared off/have gone/have left. - caza Oct 6, 2010

Answer 6

I think that the 'peña' can refer to a supporter's club and that your barman is viewing his customers as 'suporters' who are leaving his bar considering that the game is 'done and dusted. I have no idea of the significance of Joeee.

Joeee, mira meten cinco goles y salen todos mis clientes

Joeeee, look they put in 5 goals and all my customers leave.

• My grasp of football is negligible so I guess I would never have assessed this correctly, but 'vale la pena'

Answer 7

One more time with Heidita's hints.....

Expletive, look, they score five goals and everyone bails.

As in bails-out (airplane), window of a burning house, etc.

Stadium or bar perhaps?

Answer 8

I keep waiting for someone else to answer this and they won't do it. OK, here goes nothing.......
