Some phrases I don't get 1. "Stop being a couple of pussies!" I understand pussies are cats, so this means "Stop arguing"? 2. "...Then they hit the road." Does this mean they run away? 3. "We suck at math" and "We suck in math" What's the difference? 4. "What in hell are those guys up to?" How is this different from "What the hell are those guys up to?" 5. A policeman said "Pull over!" in his car, chasing the front car. Then he said "Pull your car to the side of the road", does this mean "Pull over!"? 6. "Give us a kiss." ????????? Thanks in advance!

1. Pussy (in this context) = weak, over-sensitive, man, in other words a "wuss" or a "big girl's blouse". So, the meaning here is "Stop being scared and be men!". It can be used to refer to women, but is not usually. 2. They left. 3. to suck at something (slang) = to be bad at something 4. Same thing 5. Stop your car 6. us = me (slang)

Pussy = a man who is scared of women 妻管嚴 Hit the road = get going 走 suck = to be very bad (at) 很差 What in hell = What the hell...yeah Pull over (to the side of the road)...yes same meaning Give us a kiss = give me a kiss. We often say "us" when we mean "me". It's a kind of slang.

1. It has a bit to do with arguing actually. "Stop being a pussy" is something you say to another person that doesn't dare to do something. For example to a guy that is scared of hitting on a girl or to someone that is hesitating before a bungy jump. 2. To "hit the road" means heading home/leaving. 3. They both mean the same thing but I'd say only the first one is correct English. Someone with better grammar skills than myself can surely give a better answer. 4. They mean the same thing. In hell/The hell are used for more power to the expressions. 5. Yes. Pull over is the same as driving to the side of the road and coming to a complete stop. 6. That only makes sense if it comes from someone that suffers from schizophrenia.

Eilots answers are good though a pussie is not a man who is scared of a woman. It can be used to males and females and basically means a person who is scared of something, when we say stop being a pussy it just means stop being so scared and do it. like my friend might say to me your such a pussy get over there and talk to him. or Stop being a pussy and just do it. Its not a very nice thing to say in my opinion either.
