I think 'look out' and 'watch out' can also be used when you are looking out / ' to be on the lookout' for something or someone, right? :)

'The police were looking out / on the lookout for the suspect at the train station' for example?

I've heard it many times here in Mexico. It means "watch out!" or "look out!" in the sense that you are about to be hit by a car and a friend yells out "aguas!!!!"

That is interesting - I wonder whether it has any connection with the charming English habit in London 400 years ago. They had no drains, so toilets were a problem. They used chamber pots which they just poured out of the windows onto the street, shouting "garde l'eau" (look out - water) so anybody below could get out of the way. YUK :yuck::yuck: Is there a connection?

Llegale..



Aguas!! This's a colloquial expression of the Mexican slang.

Herale.....

AngelicaDeAlquezar November 18, 2009 05:49 PM

@Perikles: Yes, that's the right connection. :yuck:

@Irma: es el coloquial para decir "¡Cuidado!".
