Tirarse a alguien
To have sex with someone
Dicen que se tiró a uno de la oficina después de la fiesta.
A friend tells you gossip about two coworkers after the office party, and they use this phrase to be direct.
Literally, it means "to throw yourself at someone" or "to lie down on someone," since "tirarse" can mean to throw oneself.
In practice, it means "to have sex with someone," usually casual and a bit blunt. In Spain it's very common in informal talk, and it can sound crass depending on the setting. It's not the same as "to flirt"; it clearly implies sex happened (or is intended).
"Tirarse a alguien" does not mean to trash-talk someone, to admit you like someone, to set someone up. It specifically means "To have sex with someone".

🎯 Why Learn Romantic and Intimate Spanish
If you're dating a Spanish speaker, planning romantic trips to Spain, or simply consuming Spanish media and missing crucial context in love scenes, this course fills that critical gap.

Standard Spanish courses stop at holding hands; this one doesn't.
