se puso en cabeza

Question

Hi. Can the phrase "se puso en cabeza" have a figurative meaning different than the literal?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Depending on context, for example, in a race, it could be when somebody is heading the race.

Thanks. This was a context of a race practice, so that makes sense. I wanted to be sure it wasn´t a crash I was reading about, as in ¨landing on your head¨ as we often say for crashes. - rogspax, Mar 19, 2013

Hi, that would be: dar con la cabeza. Por ej: dar con la cabeza en el suelo. - Sheily, Mar 21, 2013
