It probably doesn't, but I thought I'd roll the dice. - vevans, Nov 25, 2013
Now that you are talking about it I get it. Could be a banana staring at the cherries. xD - RelaxingCup, Nov 25, 2013

She really believes in multi-tasking.

My pathetic attempt at this one: De veras, ella cree en hacer multitarea.

No woman would wear that colour socks with such hairy legs. - annierats, Nov 25, 2013
I'm voting for this one simply because of the comments. - vevans, Nov 25, 2013

Perfect Rajaji! Only that "¡So!". I've never used that for an exclamation of surprise. In Spanish "so" is an exclamation used to make horses stop. - RelaxingCup, Nov 25, 2013
"¡Hala!" would fit perfectly! - RelaxingCup, Nov 25, 2013

I didn't believe it when Bill Nye, the science guy, said that a cell phone in one hand and a piece of fruit in the other would cause a galvanic reaction that resulted in an involuntary leg lift.

Yo no lo creía cuando Bill Nye, el hombre de la ciencia, dijo que un teléfono celular en una mano y una pieza de fruta en la otra causarían una reacción galvánica que daría lugar a una elevación involuntaria pierna.

(This sentence is way beyond my Spanish skills. I shudder to think how wrong it probably is.)

I have always wondered what the expression ' To get your leg over means'. Could someone explain, please?

Siempre me he preguntado que quieren decir los ingléses cuando dicen que les gustan llevantar la pierna..Por favor, explíqueme ?

I don't think this an example of that Annie. :) - ian-hill, Nov 25, 2013
If that was not a hypothetical question, then it means to learn to do some difficult task and at least start to get a feel for it. Comes from learning to ride horses. - rogspax, Nov 25, 2013
But Ian, nobody will ever explain properly.. - annierats, Nov 25, 2013
According to Cambridge annie 'to get a leg over' (a man) means 'to have sex' link http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/get-your-leg-over - 0095ca4c, Nov 25, 2013
If it comes from learning to ride horses, as Rogs pointed out, then Cambridge is taking it literally, isn't it? (ride a man) xD - RelaxingCup, Nov 25, 2013
"los ingleses (no accent)" + "que les gusta levantar la pierna" + "¿Puede alguien explicármelo?". → - RelaxingCup, Nov 25, 2013
