Se agarra a madrazos

[Britney]

What does this mean in English?

In the show I'm watching, a girl says, "¡Yo me la agarro a madrazos!" to her friend when her friend doesn't like her own haircut.

Basically it means "go to blows" or "take it in own hands", and I guess it comes from a Mexican show, so Angélica will be able to verify, correct, and expound on this. :-)

Thank you for responding! And yes, it's from a Mexican show... I forgot to mention that.

I'm going to beat her.
I'm going to hit her.

"Madrazos", literally in English? I can't find a translation...

[Britney]

hermit, yeah, that's why I had such a problem with it!

Rusty, thank you. That makes sense now, in context. And I've learned a new phrase. Haha.

From my Larousse:

Thanks, tacuba.
