Buenas noches,
Ustedes serían tan amables de ayudarme a traducir "dar putazos" al inglés?
Oración: "Esta completamente enojado porque no habían más licor en la casa que dio un par de putazos o le pareció que Juan daba un par de putazados"
Contexto: esta oración se encuentra en cuento que trata sobre viejos amigos que realizan una fiesta para reecontrarse nuevamente después de la universidad y parece que se quedaron sin licor. En este contexto, dar putazos es dar patadas debido al enojo, pero no encuentro ninguna expresión similar en inglés.
Muchas gracias

Spanish term (edited):
dar putazos / putazados
dish out (hellish) blows
The translation needs to contrast the putazos with the putazados as the 'augmentative' form, tentatively incorporate the 'puta' spin and span AmE and BrE/IrE etc. usage, though I am more familiar from Spain & the Canaries (literally) with 'cogotazos'.
dio un par de putazos : dished out (dealt) a couple of blows
o le pareció que Juan daba un par de putazados : or it seemed to him that Juan was lashing out with a couple of hellish blows (vs. raining down a series of blows)
dio un par de putazos : dished out (dealt) a couple of blows
o le pareció que Juan daba un par de putazados : or it seemed to him that Juan was lashing out with a couple of hellish blows (vs. raining down a series of blows)
Example sentence:
When you lash out at someone, you express your anger by saying or writing furious words about them
dish it out Slang To deal out criticism or abuse.
