@KevinF Sure! Say you're back to work after being away for a while. Your boss comes to you and asks a complicated question about a client that you don't know the answer to right away and would need to look into. You may say: Me pillas/coges* fuera de juego, acabo de aterrizar (de llegar al trabajo después de un tiempo fuera -informal-). Déjame mirarlo y te doy una respuesta.
* Be careful who you use the verb coger with. It just means catch/grab/hold on Spain, but there are countries where it means something very different.
¿A alguien se le ocurre otros ejemplos con fuera de juego, hispanohablantes?

@KevinF Its literal meaning, in soccer, is offside. Figuratively, it would mean you caught me off guard.
