Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / Game | | English term or phrase: Nanny-nanny-boo-boo, I´m smarter than you are! | It seems that this is a kind of game but I don´t know it at all.
The context is this
....If you know that they´re lying to you, don´t play "Nanny-nanny-boo-boo, I´m smarter than you are!" with them....
It is a kind of recommendation for women that are flattered at the attention from a younger man.
Thank you all! |

Copio lo que contestó una estadounidense sureña:
Here in the southern USA, "nanny, nanny,boo-boo" is an expression that shows derision or defiance.
"Catch me if you can.......nanny, nanny, boo-boo" (usually said with the tongue sticking out to indicate further defiance.)
"You can't have any of my ice cream.......nanny,nanny, boo-boo!"

Explanation:
Hola, Vero, ¿cómo va? Va a ser medio difícil que encuentres algo exacto para eso. Lo mejor es darle una vuelta y poner algo que quede bien en castellano. La opción de Cristina es buena. Yo te tiro algunas otras que se me ocurren ahora. Tal vez te ayuden un poco.
¡Abrazo grande!
