Violent expressions

Okay. So. I have the keys to my new house in hand. Yay!

That being said… You know that guy in kung fu movies that you don’t want to be? That one poor schlep in the film that our hero rains a barrage of blows down on? You know the one. He gets pummeled so badly we cringe and kind of laugh and say, “Geez, I’m glad that wasn’t me!” or “Boy, that’s gonna leave a mark!”

Yeah. In many ways, that’s what closing on a house is like. :-)

So, in the spirit of wanton brutality, I’m looking to you folks to tell me the Chinese phrase that natives use when they watch someone get the crap kicked out of them.

Ready? GO!

    Best I can think of is 晕! 那个人被打得很惨! (Yun1! Nei4ge ren2 bei4 da3 de hen3 can3)

    “Oh man, that guy’s really getting beat up!”

    My Chinese isn’t nearly good enough to give you the equivalent of “Oh man, that guy’s really getting the shit kicked out of him.”
