me lo pones a huevo

Question

Someone tried to translate it as 'you put me on an egg' -but then I don't get the 'lo' being involved or what the hell it could mean anyway'

Answer 1

It means "You set me up for that one." That is, you said something that made it easy for the other person to make a joke. You were the straight man. It can also mean, "Hey, you had that one coming."

A huevo just means easy. So, it's literally "You put it to me easy."

Answer 2

So, it's literally "You put it to me easy."
Thanks James ..and that accounts for the 'lo' as well.

Answer 3

A huevo is a slang very used in México and although can have multiple meanings, mostly times is for "something imposed by force or obligation".
"Entró a huevo", "Lo hizo a huevo".
