Recently I learned that we have this same shared expression in English and Spanish.

We all know someone (or is it ourselves?) who is better not to mess around with.

  • No me jodas, que tengo la mecha corta hoy.
  • Dale che, no te enojés. Qué corta tenés la mecha.

Remember to count to 10 (at least)

Until next time!
