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!!:-)

Re:I'LL HELP YOUR ENGLISH IF YOU HELP MY SPANISH
Hello Brittany, how are you?
In response to your questions:
I love you in Spanish, is Te amo.
I love you in French, is Je t'aime.
Also, I noticed someone typed in a Spanish chant about a flower, I think it was meant to be about plucking out the petals of a flower or sunflower and chanting “…he loves me, he loves me not, he loves and he loves me not…“ and so on. The word “cursi” was then added which can be translated into corny or cheesy. So, what the person was saying is that the Spanish chant may be romantic but corny and/or cheesy at the same time. :)
Good Luck.
