Poner pegas
I know it means to create obstacles, but I just came across it. It seems like a good term to know and I never knew it.

¿Y vds. no van a la dichosa chamba?
Entonces pone pega Chile parece poner las pilas. Entonces poner pegas en Chile no siginfica poner obstáculos. A proposito, a mi poner pega y poner pegas suena diferente.

ponerse las pilas = start moving, get in gear, right? Nosotros no usamos ese término para decir "poner trabas", ni sabía que existía. Me imagino que es el plural en el caso de usarlo como obstáculo. |
