Hmmm ... "I took a hold of/f***ed her by the arm"?
Reminds me of "chinga" which means, IIRC, "bother" in most dialects of
Spanish, but f*** in Mexican Spanish, hence the renaming of the X-Files
episode "Chinga" (the reason for whose name was a hot topic over on my
X-Files list) as "Bughoney" for the overseas market.
