put the heat on [someone]
дачить -> давить
If this phrase was initially written (not spoken), possibly, there is a typo. Someone could easily type in “давить” instead of “дачить.” Take a look at the Russian keybord layout and you will see that the letter “Ч” is located below and slightly to the left from the Russian letter “B.”

Correction: Of course, I meant that someone could easily type in “дачить” instead of “давить.”
