Sacar pecho

Sacar pecho
 
I think it means to be proud. Am I right?

That's one meaning, yes. It can also be to strut (your stuff), show off or brag.
Another meaning is to brave.

savar pecho, I haven´t heard that¨? only sacar probecho de algo.

I never have heard the word Sacar pecho at least as idioms, then I think that it could mean your stuff or other thing but, it never could be sacar pecho. Why do your country Sacar pecho mean show off your brag.

Poli was asking about an idiomatic expression he found while reading. I told him he figured out the right meaning.
Perhaps sacar pecho isn't used in Mexico, but it is used. I found many hits for that expression on the Internet. And you'll find the expression in the RAE under sacar alguien pecho here (click on artículo enmendado button).

It's very normal in Spain.
I would try to find a proper photo/drawing.
It's the usual "chest-up" when a pretty woman pass by......

It can be a gsetual show off, but it can also mean to be brave, to be proud....
I need the whole sentence..
Saludos :D
