English term or phrase:Tickle!, Tickle!
Hi There,
Could you please help me with this? There is not much context, and that is why I can't really come up with anything that sounds fine. "Somebody trying to pick up a girl in a Campus. When he is getting to her, the Campus guard says: Tickle!, Tickle!.
Thanks for you help
Explanation: Of course, it really depends which country your audience is in. But in Spain, you may say "cuchi cuchi" in a similar way as "tickle tickle" is used in the US, meaning, as a "threat" to tickle someone.
Explanation: Aparentemente hay algo de sarcasmo en la expresión del cuidador que puede interpretarse de diversas formas dependiendo de las costumbres del lugar.
