When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"COMERSE UN GARRÓN"
1) Vas al banco y tenés que hacer una cola de tres horas, volvés a la oficina y le decís a tus amigos: Me comí un garrón en el banco...
2) Conocés a alguien especial, haces una cita y ... no va... le podés decir a tus amigos: me comí un garrón...
3) Te llama tu amigo y te cuenta la historia de que su esposa lo dejó: le podés decir: che, qué garrón te comiste...
Comerte un garrón es cuando algo te sale mal y te produce displacer (=embole decimos nosotros ) y pérdida de tiempo.
Y te aseguro que los argentinos hoy nos estamos comiento un garrón con el "corralito"...
Modestísima ayuda.

DISCULPAS A RAFAELA...
I meant "neutral"
What you propose is only one of the meanings of "comerse un garrón"
and as far as I understand your proposal is our "darle un plantón" o "dejar plantado a alguien" pero ése es SOLAMENTE UNO DE LOS GARRONES QUE TE PODES COMER EN LA VIDA.
También te podés comer el garronazo de sentarte en el colectivo al lado de alguien que te empieza a hablar y no para (un plomo...)
Me perdonás Rafaela?
Gracias,

Lump it - Suck it up
it. Both a refund and exchanging it for another CD were out of the question.
La que se ajusta más en slang americano es "suck it up" E.g.(urban dictionary): To cope with something unpleasant without complaining--usually because you have no choice.
Supposed to be pilot slang. If you vomit into your mask, you'd better suck it up. Otherwise, you can inhale it and die.
Bob's car needed a new engine. He couldn't afford an new one, so he had to suck it up.
O si no "bite the bullet", o "swallow the slug", o "eat the worm": estas frases también son americanas. Y en este caso las usaría en ese orden de preferencia, para mi gusto.
