¿"Jalar" es mexicano? Para mí jalar es comer

Me gusta deslizarme sobre mi trineo cuando la nieve es blanda.

I would say: Los perros tiraban de su trineo...
Two more words for trineo in English: sleigh and sledge.

I am aware that sledge means sled but I have never heard anyone say it.
A sledge hammer is powerful heavy hammer used for knocking things down.

Mexico no es el único pais que usa la palabra jalar en lugar de tirar. Se usa
dondequiera en latino-america. Aquí tirar significa echar(el beisbolista tira
la pelota), y me parece que tirar es más común que echar.

I use it in preference to sled.

Sledge is also a verb, meaning "to verbally abuse a sporting opponent", particularly in cricket. I hadn't heard it used with this meaning until fairly recently, but it's well established now in British and Australian English.

How funny (this happens to me frequently when reading your comments in fact poli ) I was thinking the exact same thing when reading it.
I am kind of wondering why the term is 'sledge hammer' anyway, does anyone know this? (Just remember the Peter Gabriel song about it.. )

Ayer, alguién me dijo que también se utiliza 'tirar' mucho como 'tener sexo' (slang/ jerga/ argot) en los países latinoamericanos y 'coger' en España, ¿es correcto?

Me parece un poquito extraño que se utiliza el mismo verbo para 'comer' y 'tener sexo' ? (<< haha, ¡¡me gusta el nuevo emoticon!! )

PD creo que estoy confundida un poco.. Lo siento..
Se utiliza 'jalar' como 'tirar' - 'jalar' en España quiere decir 'comer' , ¿pero 'tirar' no significa comer..? ¿Correcto?

¿De cuál manera se utiliza 'tirar' entonces? (Porque no me gustaría cometer errores tontos con este verbo que aparentemente significa 'tener sexo' también )

Según el diccionario online de etimología que suelo usar:
Quote:

Creo que las abreviaturas son:
O.E.: Old English
P.Gmc.: Proto-Germanic
O.N.: Old Norse
M.Swed.: Middle Swedish

Y "pleonastic" quiere decir que se repite.

No. No sé acerca de "tirar" en latinoamérica (aunque la aceptación nº 28 del RAE es "Poseer sexualmente a alguien"), pero "coger" tiene ese sentido en Argentina, no en España.

So how would one say "dog sledding" in Spanish? As in "dog sled races" like the Iditarod? (Don't want to start a political debate here........)
