Azuzar el perro
How can I say? Azuzar el perro a alguien?

sic the dog on someone
-or- sick the dog on someone The first spelling is recommended, but both are seen. The verb sic means "command to chase or attack, especially as a command to a dog." We also use "They sicced their lawyers on the guy who ran over their prize roses," and "I'm going to sic the police on my neighbor who's growing marijuana." As a command to a dog, we usually say "Sic 'em!" The dictionaries say that 'set the dog on someone' is also used, but I've personally never used it. |
what about set on?
|
As I said, I've never used it. It appears to be popular, doing a search, but I don't hear it very often in my region.
'set ... on' appears to be the same as 'sic ... on'. |
Thanks
