Russian term

Еще толпой такой ходите, как девчонки

Russian to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Здравствуйте еще раз. Помогите, пожалуйста, из того же ролика перевести правильно. Вот это место (осторожно - по ссылке очень много матов): https://youtu.be/TELzve9ZPJI?t=2m57s

Молодой мотоциклист, разозленный тем, что его остановили активисты на тротуаре:

- Вы еще толпой такой ходите, как девчонки, ***!

- Я один перед тобой стою, в чем проблема?

And you're crowded together, like ***ing girls

Even better, thank you!
agree El oso : Why not replace '***ing girls' with just 'pussies'? After all, 'девчонка' is clearly a derogatory term (as is 'pussy' in this sort of context), as opposed to 'девочка' и 'девушка'

Thanks. It's an option, though it deviates a bit.

And you're walking all bunched up like girls

Or, spell it out, "And you're walking in a group like a bunch of girls."

Add obscenities to taste.

I wanted to propose "walking in a bunch," but "bunch of girls" works better than "bevy" or "flock," in my opinion. I suppose you could make it "walking in a bunch, like girls," but "like a bunch of girls" sounds more natural in casual conversation, so I'd use "group" and then "bunch." It wouldn't be the first time for that combo, as you can see in the first example.

Examples:
"Nine of us walking in a group like a bunch of ladies ain't helping."

you really want the kids walking in a tight bunch when they get there

Oh, I didn't see that Macro already had "bunch." But I wouldn't agree with the rest of his version, so this is a bit different.

By the way, there are great examples of "all bunched up," including videos.
