CONTEXTO: Busco una expresión popular en inglés para esta muy común expresión española. Ejemplos: "no me jodás" (le dice un hermano a otro, un socio a otro, porque se sienten molestos); estos bichos (mosquitos o zancudos) están jodiendo mucho hoy.
En síntesis, molestar. Pero me interesa la expresión popular no algo como bothering, hindering, hampering...
Mil gracias desde Medellín.

Comment: "Hola Michael. Mil gracias. No sabía de todas tus andanzas por los países hispanoparlantes y el idioma español. Si puedes, díme esta: "¡No jodás!", como quien muestra asombro cuando le cuentan algo increíble o inusual.
Gracias, Gabriel."
