Literal Translation
To take a rake
Actual Meaning
To get blown off (used exclusively in the context of someone flirting or asking someone out)
Etymology
This ridiculous and painful situation symbolises what one might feel when they suffer a sudden failure (for example, when one tries to show off in front of their sweetheart and end up smashing their bits on the fence they thought they could easily jump over). Mostly used by dads when their teenage son admits to having been rejected by a girl.
