If I go there and enter in "leg" it is the fourth, indeed. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 30, 2015

I am not sure why that link is not easily found in the drop down. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 30, 2015

Bosque, I also asked about that problem earlier this year: why we don't have the phrase book readily available on the drop down menu. It has been like this ever since they redesigned the layout of the site...I can't understand why they left it out! - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

Hello Ramon / Hola Ramón,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You asked:

What would be an equivalent in Spanish to the English phrase "To pull one's leg" -- as in "Ramon is such a jokester, he loves to pull your leg."

You could say: ¡Qué bromista es Ramón ...le encanta / le gusta mucho... tomar el pelo!

¡Qué bromista eres! = What a joker you are / You are such a joker!

I hope this helps
