Picture of the Day: Red Card!

Question

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them.

• Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

• Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

• Please, give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

• Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Answer 1

Original No puede pintar la ciudad rojo con esa tarjeta.

Corrected

No se puede ir de picos partes con ese tarjeta.

Word reference = ir de picos pardos go on a spree, go on a bender

Thanks Luis, Dani and Tiempo and everyone who helped

You can't paint the town red with that card.

¿No puede o sí puede? - LuisCache, Apr 14, 2015

Es mejor decir: "No se puede...." I don't know if that "modismo" will fly in Spanish. Any bilingual like myself will get it though. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

"Irse de juerga" is an idiom we use to express the idea, but I think it's incompatible with what is happening here. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2015

Ok, thanks you guys - sanlee, Apr 14, 2015

Well, irse the juerga does sort of mean what I was saying, Dani. http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=irse+de+juerga - sanlee, Apr 14, 2015

You can't go out paryting / painting the town red / with that card ??? - sanlee, Apr 14, 2015

See word reference here http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=irse de picos pardos&start=100 - sanlee, Apr 14, 2015

La (chica) rubia: ?¡Oye (Oiga) , te he dicho antes que no impidas el paso y ya he elegido ese chico allí al frente de la multitud (o muchedumbre)...es mío! ?

La (chica) morena: ?Sólo por ser mi hermanastra, esto no te da derecho a tratarme mal ni a afanarme* todos los novios, ¿entiendes¡ ?
