English term or phrase: to scooch up
Entiendo que este verbo significa algo así como correrse, hacerse a un lado, incorporarse, pero no he podido encontrarlo en un diccionario. ¿Se trata de un verbo poco corriente, es incorrecto, muy coloquial o es muy nuevo?
¿Qué significa exactamente?

arrimarse
Explanation:
En lugar de "hazte pa'llá" es "hazte pa'cá", mis cuates, así que cuando le digan a la jaina "scooch up, baby" quiere decir "arrímate más, no te hagas ranchera".

\"scootch up a bit\" = \"hazte un poco más pa\'cá\", \"arrímate un poco más pa\'cá\".

Lo que básicamente hace arrastrando las pompis ya que está sentada o semiacostada de espalda, probablemente ya en la posición del parto.

Bendito contexto...

Muchas gracias, Henry, y a todos los demás. No buscaba tanto la traducción exacta para mi contexto (porque tengo la imagen y se ve claramente a qué se refiere) sino el uso general de este verbo, que como he podido comprobar, puede usarse en muchas situaciones. Por eso no puse el contexto al principio.

agree  Luis Rey Ballesteros (Luiroi): entre arrimarse y repegarse parece ir la cuestión. Entre la morena de mi referencia y tu "nekkid" girl... vaya inicio de semana proziano. Lo curioso sería que el contexto tenga que ver con alguna ecuación o algo menos "mundano", jejeje. ¡Saludos, Henry!

echate/ muevete un poco para atras/arriba


Explanation:
si se refiere a un parto es esto. Para parir tumbada en la mesilla de parto, la mujer debe estar colocada de forma que al nacer el bebe el medico o comadrona pueda cojer al bebe al salir. las nalgas de la mujer deben estar en cierto sitio en la mesilla para lograr esto y no haya problemas al atrapar al recien nacido. Tambien es para la comodidad de la madre, tampoco quiere estar pariendo con las nalgas "al aire".

Ref: 3 partos en EEUU.
