peer agreement (net): -1medlem av gäng med invandrarbakgrund Explanation: Kickers verkar vara en något nedsättande (?) term för invandrargäng. Se den här inte helt PC diskussionen: http://www.socialism.nu/index.php?page=forum§ion=thread&... Någon direkt översättning kan jag inte komma på - gang member säger ju inget om medlemmens etniska bakgrund. |

1 day 21 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1tripping Explanation: It seems to me that you could use this way of approaching the translation: "Are you tripping or are you just plain dumb in the head? ..." or maybe: "Are you tripping or just braindead?..." My Swedish to Norwegian dictonary says this: kick -en, -ar (sjarg.) spark, skubb; (narkotika)trip. I might be wrong, but to me this sounds like the underlying meaning here. |
