Funny expressions: ¡me tiene fichada!

Question

This sentence in Spanish means something like, hey, this person, whenever he/she sees me, she picks on me, has me doing jobs I don't' like, looks at me in a bad way....it can mean any of these.

In the dictionary we have this entrance:

2. To file the personal (persona); to record (dato).
Le tenemos fichado -> we have his record

So, as a colloquial saying it is: we have your record, so we know your weakness

I don't' even know how to explain this better. Let's see if Lazarus gets here.

I wonder if this saying is used in other countries and...

can you think of a nice translation'

We say "he/she/it has got your number" I say it a lot when I'm out horseback riding and I notice one of the horses knows it has a weak rider on it's back and so it starts acting up. "That horse has got your number" ps: "has got" Is probably bad English but you can still say it that way, plenty of people do.

Not bad English, just informal/colloquial English. If it means anything, "bad English" would be an utterance that most/all native speakers wouldn't even recognize as being English (though they might recognize the individual words).

is "bad"! But the sentence is not completely correct.

(It) is ok to go in the gutter unless you are sipping tea with Queen Victoria.

/s/ Queen Victoria
