Montar un revuelo

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Cual es el equivalente en Inglés ? Montar un revuelo es como " To put a fox in a henhouse?

[María José]

Yes, that's a good translation.

Hmmm.. maybe:

- To stir things up ( a little/ a lot)

to incite, instigate, or prompt (usually fol. by up): to stir up a people to rebellion.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stir+up
- To cause a stir

- To goad people/ someone

to prick or drive with, or as if with, a goad; prod; incite

- to egg people on

to incite or urge; encourage (usually fol. by on).

(these last two are used more directly to provoke people to
rebel or to get into action)

[poli]

to incite
to instigate
to aggitate
to rabel rouse(figurative expression)

To put a fox in a henhouse has slightly different meaning. The meaning is this phrase is more like. Putting a alcoholic in charge of guarding the beer or a compulsive gambler in charge of finances.

Thank you. I hope we can all meet one day for dinner, here in Madrid.

ALborotar el gallinero sería to put a cat among the pigeons o algo así, si mal no recuerdo no?

a veces usamos esa expresión cuando alguien, por ejemplo en clase, empieza a dar lata.

What about "poner la iglesia en manos de Lutero" for "leaving a fox to guard the henhouse"?

Not bad, but it might need a certain public.
