Re:Re:Help with a couple of expressions.
There is actually a phrase or idiom "to get the wind up" which does indeed mean to become frightened.
However, as the comments here show, it's not universally known. The phrase is not rude and could be used in any setting, but you might not be understood, even if you're speaking to native English speakers. I suspect that the context would make it obvious what this phrase means though, so if you say it to someone who hasn't heared if before they'll probably figure it out.
You might say
"That thunderstom really got the wind up me" to show that you were frightened by the thunderstorm.

Re:carpe diem
Hello Ketty:
Carpe Diem does mean "make good use of the day", it is a topic very common that was use by classics and renascentist poets.
Carpe Diem it is an invitation to enjoy the present without worry about the future.
I hope that information can help you.

Re:Help with a couple of expressions.
Thank you all for your help. :-)
1)Now, after I read what Tierney wrote, a doubt cropped up.
Is the expression ‘to get the wind up’ commonly used meaning to become scared?.For example , would the following sentence be ok?:
‘Tom got the wind up when he realised his opponent had a gun’.
2)YES!! The term ‘pedagogue’ is perfectly appropriate for the context where I found the word pettigog, in fact it is used with reference to a school teacher.Thanx, Charles!

Re: No le pega a la negra - Spanish question
Hola Erick
Esa frase no tiene sentido. No es correcta.
Si es de una canción debería ser, como una orden: No le pegues a la Negra. Una prohibición
//// This phrase havas no sense. It is not correct.
Maybe, it is an order, bad copied and want to indicate : Do not hit?? to my dear black woman, to my couple, or my girlfriend or something lovely, for protecting her.
But really you can learn other song more beautyfull like "Corazon
Partío". There is a place: tu-refugio.com with leter and music
of a lot of Spanish songs. Try to find one that you like and If you ask me I can explain the sense or meaning.
I hope your message...... Take care,
Mary

Help with a couple of expressions.
Hi,
1)I'd appreciate some help with the following expression:
"to get the wind up": I know it means to become nervous or afraid, but what I'd like to know is its register, I mean, do you sound vulgar when using it?, or is it sth. neutral like when you use expressions such as 'once in a blue moon', or 'to kick the bucket'?
2)Does anybody know the meaning of the word "pettigog"? i've seached everywhere , even on-line dictionaries, but no way!!
Thanks in advance!!:-)
