: : Hi. I'm translating a movie "Bring it on" to estonian, and here are some senteces that I don't understand. So if you could help me I would be grateful:)
: : 1) The girl is having a nightmare where she is naked and one of the guys who sees it says "Nice rack! Serves her right!" And I can't understand the "serves her right" part...
: : 2)"I'll be the experienced so pho more, you'll be the hot, new freshman." What is "so pho more"?
: : 3)Two girls are talking about some girls butt. One says: "She puts the "ass" in "massive."" and the other one looks her a** and says: "You put the "lude" in "deluded."" These phrases are totally black spots for me, I have no idea, what do they mean... :(
: : 4)Two girls are talking about their ex-coach: "No one will miss her. She puts the "itch" in "bitch.""
: : 5)About the same coach: "She puts the "w h o r e" in "horrifying""
: : 6)Cheerleaders are making a pyramid and coach is tells the one who is at the top: "Carver, can you cradle out?"
: : 7)a girl and a boy are talking about boy's favorite band. Boy says:Original line up, anyway" and girl answers:"How vintage."
: : 8)"This past summer at Cheer Camp,all the new seniors had to do a dare." What could "new seniors" mean in this sentence?
: : 9)"Big Redran the show. We were just flying ignorami, for sobbing out loud." - doesn't make any sense to me:(
: : 10)One girls try's to insult the other by saying: "Let's not put the "duh" in "dumb.""
: : 11) A cheer: "That's all right, That's okay, You're gonna pump our gas someday" - what does "pump our gas" mean?
: : 12) One cheerleaders team stole their routine from other team. So they come and they want to bring shame upon them and they sing: "Tried to steal our bit, but you look like ****. But we're the ones, who are down with it" - that second sentence is unclear for me:(
: : So if it isn't too hard(I guess those who speak english as native language should find this quite easy), anyone can help me and the whole Estonian nation:)
: : Thanks...
: #1 "serves her right" = "that is what she deserves"
: #2 "so pho more" = A sophomore is a second year student, a freshman is a first year student.
: #3, 4 and 5 Just adolescent insult rhyming slang.
: #6 "cradle out"--I am not sure. Probably an athletic routine, maybe a type of jump.
: #7 Not sure.
: #8 "New seniors" are the newest crop of the oldest on the cheerleader squad. The "new seniors" are last year's juniors.
: #9 "Big Redran the show. We were just flying ignorami, for sobbing out loud."
: The leader, as played by Lindsay Sloane, was doing the routines with no practice, ad libbing just the sexy moves, and everyone just followed along.
: #10 More young girl rhying slang as in 3,4 and 5
: #11 "Pump our gas" means "We are going to win and you will be subservient to us and cater to our every whim".
: #12 "who are down with it"-- "You looked foolish because we invented the routine and only we can do it the right way and you look silly trying to copy us"
If I may make an attempt. (English slang is difficult to understand and explain sometimes. But, I'll try. (Or should I say: "I'll give it a whack"
1. Nice rack is slang for the woman's breasts. Serves her right-- means that her breasts acts as a method for her to obtain ie: men, attention, positions... In American, apparently there's an ideology that attractive breasts on a woman will help her in life.
3. "Ass" is slang for a person's "behind" (buttocks). Massive means large. This is a play on words. Since you can find the letters "ass" in "M -ass -ive they are basically insulting the person by saying that their buttocks are large. (Same situation in numbers 4, 5 and 10.
6. Cradle out is a cheer move where the person I believe squats into fetal position and rolls.
7. Vintage reiterates the "Original". Something vintage is old or classic usually in an
admiring way. It sometimes refers to a yesterday time or day in which something was originally done or created.
11. An insult that the future holds for them a menial job at a gas station where low wages are earned as someone who tends to filling gas (Pumping) in the cars of customers.
This is opposite the of the kind of goals and successes they're expecting in life for themselves. In essence they are saying that they will be successful and the others will have the failures of life. It's as if I were to say you will be working for ME someday.
