I'm shitting it/myself Explanation: = I am very worried. I initially thought the female was saying that she was vomiting because in Spain "echar la baba/pota/ papilla" means to puke or throw up. However, on reflection, I think she is saying that she is worried her cuckolded partner may find out about her dalliance. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2020-03-16 09:26:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS: See Roberts comment in the discussion section. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2020-03-16 12:13:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps a less crude euphemism like "I'm bricking it" might be more appropriate. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brick_it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 1 hr (2020-03-17 17:57:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Okay, in the light of the new information, "I'm out of here" (or words to that effect) looks like an option. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 1 hr (2020-03-17 17:58:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are several nice synonyms for it,such as "doing a runner": https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/do-a-run... I might even consider "skedaddle" but apparently that's been removed from current dictionaries :-) Reference: http://coloquialmente.com/en/echar_la_papilla |
