-Hey guys.
-What's up?
-We're gettin' together (?) Where are the girls?
-Don't look at me. Ask this guy.
-Alright, whatever. . . Where'd the girls go, man?
-You're not gonna believe this, buddy. Some dude came along and they all went with him.
-Quit trippin'. Where'd they go? / Where'd he take 'em?
-They drove off (?)
-Ain't that a bitch.
-I know, right? An ugly dude too, with glasses and greasy hair.
-Get outta here! You think I was born yesterday? (You think I'm fallin' for that sh*t?)
-Hey, I'm not kiddin' around (bullsh*ttin' you) man.
-Yeah whatever man. You need to take yourself somewhere and work on your issues (?)

-Bueno, vale. (Da igual uno que otro): ¿Dónde están las tías, tío?
-No te lo vas a creer, tío. Ha venido un tío y se ha llevado a todas las tías.
-No jodas. ¿Adónde se las ha llevado?
-De calle.
-Qué mamón.
-Sí, tío. Un tío feo, con gafas y pelo grasiento.
-Venga ya, tío, ¿te crees que ha nacido ayer?
-Que sí, tío, que yo no miento.
-No me jodas, tío: cómprate un bosque y piérdete.

Sorry I should have quoted. Am I in the ballpark?

¡Qué macarras os estáis volviendo, tíos!
Poli, peli means flick not chick, as far as I know...

I think so. cómprate un bosque y piérdete could be rendered make like a tree and leave.

Gracias Maria
Of course peli is película. As you know we don't often use abbreviations
that way in English. We never use bici for bicycle. Telly is used a lot in
England, though. You probably know that.

We'd say, get lost, or more rudely go f yourself. Done in good humor, these are not necessarily fighting words.

[gatitoverde]

Yeah, but that ain't too street, David. You gots to keep it real, know what I'm sayin? Dat's fo' real dough. Make like a tree and leave? Man, quit trippin. You got it twisted. My shit's Gucci.

Very true.

[Iris]

You're hilarious and apparently street-wise too, Gatito.

[gatitoverde]

Thanks a lot, Iris. I take pride in the fact that I can talk street even though I'm a whiteboy from the burbs.
