Hello Diarrah,

I'm from MAdrid, Spain,

I would say that there are two meanings,

"El me escupió" you can say that when someone spit on you, it's a very rude attitude.

"El me atacó" you use to say that when someone is attacking you with hard sentences.

I hope to help you,

Regards, Miguel.

Welcome to the forum Diarrh grin

Just to help you with your English here:

You can either say:

  1. He spat on me (past tense) or

2 He is spitting on me (present continous) or

3 He spits on me (present tense indicating a regular habit )

But, he spit on me is not good English and is what a young child of 4 years old might say

I am not saying this to criticise you but to help you grin

So, in good English, you would prefer, "On me he spit."? - W_N_Gibbetts, Nov 22, 2010
The issue rasied is of the tense of the verb, not the word order. Your reordering of the words produces a very odd result. And the past tense of "spit" is still "spat" regardless of word order. - samdie, Nov 22, 2010
