Can you translate this for me? I'm watching Twisted now, and have a sentence that I didn't understand "I'm a sprawler..." What's a sprawler? Thank you.

I suppose it depends on the context. It may also be a word uniquely for the show. Sprawl- 1 : to creep or clamber awkwardly 2 : to lie or sit with arms and legs spread out 3 : to spread or develop irregularly 4: the spreading of urban developments (as houses and shopping centers) on undeveloped land near a city. 4 an irregularly spread or scattered group or mass 3 Sorry this probably doesn't help!

to sprawl can mean to fall flat on one's belly, limbs spread out. Similar to the example of urban sprawl, it connotes spread/ extension. One might even say, "He lay sprawled across the floor after tripping" or "He lay sprawled all over the floor...." rather than simply, "He lay sprawled on the floor...". The first two emphasize the sense of spread or extension from the outward positioning of the limbs.

You can say I was all sprawled out on the bed and my husband told me I was taking up too much room. The noun referring to a person "a sprawler," I actually never heard anyone say. "I am a sprawler." I wouldn't worry about it because I never even heard it used that way.

If this is in reference to a person (or couple) sleeping in bed, it may mean someone who can't help but spread their arms and legs wide across the bed, thereby taking up a lot of space!
