requesting a translation

Question

An acquaintance had this emailed to him, and asked me to translate for him. I could get part of it, but not everything. Would appreciate a little help. Maybe it is more a slang phrase than anything else, which would limit my ability to understand.

¡ÿl no es nada sino un 'impermeable de la ciudad? así que reloj hacia fuera!!

Answer 1

WOW! I am impressed at how quickly you responded. Thank you very much...I will pass your info along!

Answer 2

Reloj hacia fuera seems to be slang for "watch out," and is therefore an intentional mistranslation, sort of. Impermeable de la ciudad is a similar animal, meaning city slicker.

So, your sentence means "He's nothing but a 'city slicker,' so watch out!"

This is pure Spanglish.

Answer 3
