Colombian Written Spanish---What does this mean?

Question

Can anyone help so that I can have a more complete or full understanding? Here is what was written: "A ver si se pone mosca y no la embarra por andar pensando en "Mi Eduardo" que es un pato ahì jejeje. Mejor dicho póngase las pilas y tratelo bonito que él se lo merece porque ese man la quiere mucho, y si algo nos vamos las dos pa`la Georgia jajajajajaj"

The above was written from one girl to another. The writer seems to be telling the other to see if her story will fly, to get her act together and to don't go mudding the water by thinking about your "Eduardo", that is gay. Instead it's better to treat the other man well because he deserves it and he loves you alot. Then at the end, the writer appears to be saying that if she does that, we will both be going to Georgia.

Am I even anywhere close?

Thanks!

Well the only answer is an offensive joke. I had a serious question and was just looking for a better understanding. Maybe I didn't ask my question correctly, or I've asked it in the wrong place. Can anybody help with a serious answer? - clueless71, Sep 22, 2010

Hello Clueless, welcome to the Forum. Please disregard the "answer" you got from Ruhana. This person is not a regular member of the Forum, and most likely won't get to be one, with that sort of behavior. - Gekkosan, Sep 22, 2010

I think Alba got the gist of it pretty well. I'll just offer a couple of modifications. Note: almost universally in Latin America to call a Man "pato" means to call him "homosexual". However, I know there are exceptions, and at least one meaning could be "nosy". The context is a bit confusing. Perhaps someone more familiar with Colombian slang will be able to provide a definite call on that. My take on the above is as follows:

"Let's see if you wise up and don't mess up by thinking about "My Eduardo" who is actually gay, hah haha. Or rather, wake up and start treating him right, because that man loves you very much, and if anything we may both go to Georgia hah hah haha".

oooo, yeah..."wise up", "if anything" I agree and he very well might be gay...I have a friend from Colombia. I'll ask her when I see her. ;) - alba3, Sep 22, 2010

Answer 2

I think that "poner mosca" is slang for getting a little worked up or irritated about something (I think it implies being motivated by that irritation to do something)

Pato doesn't necessarily mean gay though it might. I read online from two Colombians that "ser pato" means to be dim-witted and unproductive.

embarrar - to cover in mud, to discredit/cause harm, to get bogged down

I'm not a native and maybe one will come and offer an opinion but I would translate it like this: Let's see if you get worked up and don't get bogged down by going around thinking about "My Edward" who is an idiot there hahaha. Better said, wake up and treat him nice like he deserves because that man loves you a lot, and if something (happens) we'll both go to Georgia hahaha.

It's a rather confusing little message to me. I hope that helps. Welcome to the forum.
