Find words related to B A N G

The idea is to find an English word (S Y N O N Y M or antonym) related to the word

B A N G (verbo, sustantivo, adverbio, interjección) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word. For example phrasal verbs of which there are many.

Examples:

I banged into the car in front.

Me di con el coche de delante.

Pat is always banging on about politics.

Pat siempre está dale que te pego con la política.

bang

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas. (Scroll down for most of the synonyms)

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English smile ?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me. wink

This was the previous challenge.

La semana pasada mi amigo me mostró el lugar donde la primera muerte ocurrió en un accidente de tráfico en Escocia... Hay una casa allí donde a veces los habitantes se despiertan durante la madrugada a cuasa de un ruido fuerte en la carretera...

Last week my friend showed me the site of the first road traffic fatality in Scotland. There's a house there where the occupants are sometimes awoken in the wee small hours by a loud bang on the road...

Bang to rights[dead to rights in USA] isn't used much in the UK now but I couldn't resist it.

He was bang to rights so the jury convicted him and the judge banged him up. His poor girlfriend thought it was bang out of order.

The evidence against him was overwhelming so the jury convicted him and the judge sent him to prison. His poor girlfriend thought it was completely the wrong thing to do.

Las pruebas contra él fue abrumadora por lo que el jurado lo declaró culpable y el juez le enchironó. Su pobre novia pensó que era completamente lo que no debía hacer.

The Big Bang theory i.e the theory about the beginning of the universe is very interesting, but I suppose it is a little difficult to prove it.

La teoría del Big bang es decir la teoría sobre el comienzo del universo es muy interesante, pero supongo que es un poco difícil probarlo.

Unusual use- to bang something out (do/make something quickly and without a lot of care as to the quality of the product)

En este momento no tengo mucho tiempo ahora para tardar gastarlo en escribir bien una frase compleja; en vez de esto simplemente voy a escribir algo sencillo, rápidamente rápido y sin demasiada atención a los detalles.

I don’t have much time right now to spend writing a complex phrase well; instead I am going to bang out something simple.

Hola, hopefully I put a little more care into it than the sentence implies. :D - bosquederoble, Feb 19, 2015
...en este momento no tengo mucho tiempo para gastarlo en escribir...sencillo, rápido y... good expression and it's not in the SD dictionary, something like voy a escribir algo 'así nomas' - Pablo064, Feb 20, 2015

Vale la pena conseguir lo más por tu dinero.

It's worth while to get more "bang" for your buck.
