throw your weight around Explanation: for example Effective Swearing in D.F.: Echar láminaswearindf.blogspot.com › 2008/02 › echar-lmina Feb 28, 2008 - Echar lámina. Driving in the streets of Mexico City requires being aggressive. More often than not, there are no proper traffic signals, and when there are, drivers ignore them. So if you want to take Viaducto, Periférico, Circuito Interior or any other (allegedly) express way, you have to let your car go against other drivers. Their fear for a taste of your vehicle's metal sheet will force them to yield. This act is known as echar lámina (eh-CHAR LAH-mee-nah, lit. to throw metal sheet). |
