Me saco a golpes de una boda

Question

Me sacó a golpes de una boda

No consigo entender esta frase! Cada palabra seperada si entiendo pero todo junto no tiene sentido! Debe ser una frase idiomatica.... alguien la ha escuchado alguna vez?

Gracias de antemano!

Answer 1

It means: He took me out from a wedding with violence/by force. --> (it's not a exactly, but it's the same idea)

"A golpes" is short to "caerle a golpes" (just short, not slang) in English that is beat someone up/knock someone around

He "took" me. He (literally) beat me / punched me out of a wedding - Gekkosan, Feb 4, 2012

And I was was just thinking it might mean something like, "pulled out all the punches to put on the wedding". Wow, very sad expression. - katydew, Feb 5, 2012

Answer 2

golpe can also just mean suddenly

• de golpe
• sirve para expresar que algo ocurre repentinamente
• Se estaba divirtiendo mucho y, de golpe, comenzó a llorar.

So it could mean: I was suddenly removed (sacó) from the wedding (e.g. one bridesmaid got sick, so they eliminated (pulled) one of the groomsmen)

Too convoluted, Q. In this case, it just means what it says. - Gekkosan, Feb 5, 2012
