peer agreement (net): +1"be (such) a pussy", "wuss out", "be scared sh*tless", etc. Explanation: ... but, of course, to be able to pick one out meaningfully, it should not be the first time in your life that you hear these expressions used. You need to be capable of gauging the strength of each of them. Otherwise you can end up using the wrong one in the wrong place :) Good luck! |

| Reference: pussy out - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105236/quotes Reference information: A little tribute to "Reservoir Dogs" Mr. Orange: All right, now you heard them, we'll make the move when they get back, so don't pussy out on me now, Marvin. We're just gonna sit here and bleed until Joe Cabot sticks his fucking head through that door! В любом случае, в зависимости от ситуации (повелительное наклонение, начало или конец предложения и т.д.) можно переводить по разному. ИМХО, не надо пытаться передавать русские нецензурные выражения - английскими. Ибо очень часто они слишком разные. e.g. Не ссы! Я бы перевел как-нибудь как "Don't be a damn/fucking coward". |
