Answer 1

Hola Steve, Are you sure you are in the right forum? The very first question you ask on the very first day is a question about kicking someone's butt. Sounds like you lead a very interesting life.

I just joined this site yesterday and have spent way too much time on it already. As someone else posted, it is very addictive. I look forward to learning new and exciting vocabulary from you. - Hey, just kidding. Welcome to the site. Everyone seems very helpful.

Welcome to the forum, Ron. You are doing great for just joining yesterday! - sanlee, Feb 1, 2011

Thanks. I am having way too much fun on the forum and should be doing the lessons, but I am learning something here too. - Ron_Austin, Feb 1, 2011

Answer 2

Piñazo

Piñazo is a colloquial word expressing throwing or giving a blow (usually with a fist but not limited to it) to someone or something.

Rompió la pared de un piñazo = he broke (tore a hole in) the wall with a blow. Lo dejó inconsciente de un sólo piñazo = he rendered him unconscious with a single blow.
