I'd translate "outta get me" as "Me quieren joder", "Buscan pleito conmigo", etc. They are certainly not sending a car with wine and roses to someone's house.
Hola Thomas, eso es lo que quiere decir lo de "van a por mí" en España....más fino, eso sí, jeje:pQuote:

"No podrán conmigo" just doesn't seem to get across the idea of "My spirit is untouchable".Quote:

me I would translate as "no me atraparán"...Quote:
They won't catch
exx: Doesn't coger in Spain have a different meaning besides the most common one? ;) or is it in another country?
Hi Soctty, this is exactly what it means. At least here in Spain!;)Quote:
