Ponerle la tamborita
Try as I might, I cannot seem to get my head around the meaning of ponerle (o meterle) a alguien la tamborita, an expression which supposedly comes from the Mexican state of Jalisco. Can anyone help?

@Glen: Do you have any context in which such expression is used?

As to context, different people have explained it to me at various times as meaning either
to play a trick on someone to deceive someone to slap or hit someone to joke around with someone to act romantic with someone so I'm confused, but really like the sound of it and want to use it correctly. I appreciate any help!
