Portuguese term or phrase: ficar ( sair sem namorar)
When you go out with someone ...you kiss, hug but you have no sex and you are not his/her girl/boyfriend...
It usually happens to adolescents. No commitment.
Angela
English translation:get off with/cop off with/pull
Explanation:
These are slang terms in UK English that my friends and I certainly use(d) to describe a casual adolescent snog without commitment!

e.g. I saw you with X at the party. Did you get off with her?

Did you cop off with anyone last night?

Did you pull?
