German term or phrase: auf die Kacke hauen
Eastside Harley-Davidson in Bellevue/Washington, behandelt sein Team echt gut. So ziemlich jeden Monat dürfen verschiedene Mitarbeiter sich ein Serien-Bike aussuchen und so richtig auf die Kacke hauen. Sie können die neue Harley ganz nach ihren Vorstellungen pimpen. Der Hobel wird dann zum persönlichen Demo-Ofen des Schraubers. Voll stark!

Non capisco il significato di questa "colorita" metafora in questa frase...

darsi delle arie


Explanation:
Ciao,

è meno colorita;-) Può anche essere tradotta altrimenti in altri contesti, ma qui mi sembra più nel senso di "vantarsi" / "ostentare"
