help with this phrase please
My first posting on this site. But I've already enjoyed and profited from browsing it. So, gracias anticipadas to everyone.
I would like some help please with this phrase - the context is an editorial in a Mexican newspaper which is, in turn, translated from the English The phrase in question is - 'esquivar las pullas' as in 'lo mejor que puede hacer es negociar mientras esquiva las pullas en casa". I would translate this as: 'the best he can do is negotiate while he avoids (dodges?) [las pullas this is the problem phrase] at home'. |

Re: help with this phrase please
hi aussiebart - i think "pullas" are like insulting "wisecracks" in english,
so i guess one translation might be "...while dodging the 'slings and arrows' at home". hermit |
