I will advise on the Spanish part, and I'm still looking for volunteers on the English part.

That's how to make the flies flee and the fleas fly.

Así es como se hace que las moscas huir y las pulgas escapar.

(Explanation: When spoken, flee and flea sound the same in English. Translating into Spanish does not have the same effect.)

Thanks to voters! Others feel free to flee flying fleetingly! - Raja-jani, Oct 25, 2013
"Esa es la forma de hacer que las moscas..." or "Así es como se hace que las moscas..." Very Good! - RelaxingCup, Oct 25, 2013
Thanks RC. I like "Asi..." because I learned "Asi es la vida." - Raja-jani, Oct 25, 2013

"Ese perrito está/es chistoso y muy lindo." Use "está" if it's momentary (the dog is funny because of what he is doing right now) or "es" if you think he is always funny. Same thing with "lindo". - RelaxingCup, Oct 28, 2013

Shake it off, shake that one off.

Olvídalo, agitar que uno fuera.

New excercise? - pmikan-pam, Oct 25, 2013
In this case I used "quitar" because in Spanish you are "quitando" something from being on you. I hope this is an accurate interpretation of your answer. - RelaxingCup, Oct 25, 2013
My guess: shake something off = to get rid of something that is on one by shaking. I think that "agitar" may be conjugated according to the context. What about ➜ "Quítalo, quitalo de encima." ? - RelaxingCup, Oct 25, 2013
Shake off what? His jaws? - Naya_Dask, Oct 25, 2013

"Estoy/Soy (both wok here) demasiado viejo para esto, revuelvo mis sesos." Very good. Is that a synonym of 'rack one's brains'? (devanarse los sesos) - RelaxingCup, Oct 25, 2013
Gracious RC. Not really, more like going crazy. :-) - pmikan-pam, Oct 25, 2013
