knock the... Explanation: A difficult question, Tejinder! These come near, but are not perfect equivalents. Let us see what others contribute: knock the stuffings out of knock the daylights out of knock the living daylights out of knock the hell out of knock the socks off The problem with these, is that they all play upon the physical beating of person, and the comical element that exists in बैंड बजाना is missing. Idioms that play on the words arse, shit, crap, etc., would also work. Experiment with them. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 मिनट (2010-06-30 04:25:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I finally hit upon the perfect equivalent, it is Screwed He got screwed or He will be screwed or He is going to be screwed |
