Bring down the hammer
I guess "the hammer of justice".
I take it translates as "hacer justicia". Anyone has the exact meaning in English and the "best" translation in Spanish? |
Necesito más contexto para saber qué significa. Mi primer pensamiento fue el final de un subasta, pero por lo que dices parece que no.
|
I do'nt know the exact meaning, I give you some Justice-terms :D
hacer justicia/se ejecutó la justicia cayó el peso de la ley/bajo el peso de la ley saludos :D |
Thank you, Pjt33 and Sosia.
Context: ...bringing down the hammer on the criminal agenda, closing down their institutions, outlawing their abuses... I get your point on the auction idea of the "bring down the hammer" as in concluding the deal, but also a Judge, passing sentence... which seems to be the idea on my text... more related to jurisprudence than to a public sale. @Sosia, yup, I take these options as valid ones. Something on the order of ... haciendo caer el peso de la ley sobre su plan criminal [o planes criminales], clausurando sus instituciones,... |
Also bring down the hammer can be used in the following manner.
(One spouse telling the other in a two-storey house:kiss:) "Bring down the hammer honey, I've got to nail in a picture hook.":lol:or "bring down the hammer sweety, I need to hammer your mother's head to the wall.":pinkdaisies: |
Hah, Poli, that is very good! (In my context I'd never thought of that...)
(But now that you mentioned, and just as an aside, Which is the most bitter wine? -¿Cuál es el vino más amargo? -Vino mi suegra. |
Creo que en contexto significa "poner el alto" o "decir basta". En todos los casos que estuve viendo y que no se refieren a darle a la suegra su merecido ... respeto, interpreto "bringing down the hammer" como "detener algo", "detenerse" o "hacer detener algo".

Gracias, AleCcowan. Tiene sentido lo que dices...
(Por cierto, ¿sabes cómo se dice "suegra" en ruso? "Storvo") |
