What Koreans really mean
This is a humorous and colloquial expression describing being hit on the back by one's mother, often playfully or as a form of light discipline or frustration. '등짝' refers to the back (specifically the broad area), '스매싱' is a Konglish term for a powerful hit (like a smash in sports), and '맞음' is the casual/nominalized form of 'was hit.' It implies a strong, open-handed hit on the back, typically done out of annoyance or as a quick reaction.
