I'm no good in english expresions ...
"Ay Señor! Estos de Lepe siempre dando la nota! La madre que los parió! ;-)"
Oh, God! Those people of Lepe always conflicting . What a people!
other similar example:
"Otra vez me ha parado un policía y me ha puesto una multa. La madre que los parió!
A policeman has stopped me once again and I have another fine. Damned police force!
You are not really against them, but they are a temporal "pain in the ass"

PD Rusty: modismo: dar la nota : Desentonar o actuar de manera discordante (destacar) To show off?? to conflict?? |
I would use feuding for dando la nota if dando la nota means they are alway fighting
If la madre que te parió is often used in a somewhat insulting way,
how would you say biological mother (as opposed to adoptive mother)?
Madre biologica really doesn't sound right to me.
