Find a word related to O V E R

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – O V E R ( adverbio, adjetivo, preposición, sustantivo )

and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not over by itself)

Examples:

The over-40s

Los mayores de cuarenta años

Don’t go overboard on fitness.

No te pases con lo de estar en forma.

Nor overcompensate

Ni compensar (algo) en exceso

Pictures would be nice, (pretty ones or animals get lots of votes) ha ha

I know, the Spanish translation is very interesting. ha. - katydew, Mar 29, 2013

:p - --Mariana--, Mar 29, 2013

You could also say, "¡Ya no quiero nada que ver con este hombre!" - --Mariana--, Mar 29, 2013

"No quiero tener nada que ver con este hombre" or "No quiero involucrarme más con ese hombre". In this case if you say "tipo" instead of "hombre" it sounds even better =P - Chyeko, Mar 29, 2013
