You've got me there.
You have me there. ("You got me there" is commonly used, but "You've got me there," or the present-tense form I wrote, should be the response immediately after the question is asked. "You got me there" should really only be used to refer to a response that happened in the past.) |

Oh... and "you caught me flatfooted", me has pillado desprevenido... por sorpresa... and if "you caught me red-handed"... "me has pillado con las manos en la masa"...
