"it shaved his butt"

English to Spanish Other Poetry & Literature
Novela infantil. Un hombre es perseguido por una aspiradora asesina y le rompe el pantalón por la parte trasera. Uno de los niños dice a continuación "It shaved his butt".

La verdad es que no se puede ser literal, y tampoco quiero ser demasiado libre.

Le pasó por muy cerca

Something like this asthis is the real meaning. In other words, it passed close to him, but the context is fairly clear.

What might be good is to find an equivalent translation for the popular English idiom, [it was] "a close shave"!

I hope it helps,
Neil.
