me cogió de arriba de un puente

An expression used when someone has been completely outmaneuvered, dominated, or screwed over by someone in a position of power. It implies being treated with contempt or easily defeated by someone who has all the leverage. (In Argentina, this is a vulgar variation of an older phrase that originally meant being shat on from a bridge).
