estoy que echo papas

I see no other option but to close without grading. I thought I could edit and thus post the correct wording but apparently it's not an option. Any suggestions?

23:14 Mar 16, 2020 

It's the least I could do.

23:07 Mar 16, 2020 

Thank you for sharing the information with us.

23:04 Mar 16, 2020 

Estoy que echo patas = I'm out of here!

As it turns out the girlfriend meant to write paTas and not paPas! she's an underage Colombian girl having an affair with a married man. It appears she is friends with ZZ who happens to be the man's wife. ZZ told her she thought her husband was cheating and she was investigating. Afraid of being discovered and possibly deported, the girlfriend says she's about to 'get lost' (echar patas). Wow! Who would have thought a simple text exchange would turn into a soap opera? Thanks to everyone for their input!

Ah, okay, so it's the other way round. If the married guy is having an affair with this woman, then who is ZZ? Could the lover be a relative or friend of the man's wife?

The way I understand "Imposible. Te está tirando un anzuelo" is like this:

"That's impossible. He/she is just fishing (i.e., they don't know anything specific, they're just trying to worm it out of you or trick you into revealing something).

In which case, it would make sense that the woman is nervous/scared of being found out by ZZ.

23:44 Mar 15, 2020 

No doubt!

23:37 Mar 15, 2020 

I quite understand, and I'm sure that's why no-one has posted an answer.

23:33 Mar 15, 2020 

Thanks! I do agree with you. I just need to be 100% sure because these documents will be presented as evidence in court.

I wasn't sure about who was who, and who is married, but this is my interpretation in normal Spanish:

GF – Hablé con ZZ y creo que lo sabe (I spoke to ZZ and I think h/she knows)

man – Imposible. Te está tirando un anzuelo (Impossible. H/she is throwing you bait)

My client is unable to get clarification and I'm running out of time. As far as I know, it's the guy who's married so the girlfriend has no reason to fear her husband.

18:54 Mar 15, 2020 

She's either having to lie or she's so nervous about her husband finding out that she feels sick.

18:51 Mar 15, 2020 

As I understand it.

man – Hi, 'mami'. Right now I'll try to go round to yours this afternoon

GF- You'd better not as I'm having to lie [i.e. her husband know's something's up and she's having to invent stories]

man- And why's that my 'amorcito'?

GF – I spoke to zz and I think he knows

man – Impossible! He's trying to catch you out

GF – Maybe, but we ought to stop seeing each other for a few days

man - But my 'chula', I'm feeling very hard

GF- Well, agua con hielo, 'chulo'

If this woman is having an affair with the guy she's talking to, then to say she's "fibbing" would be an understatement, and he would already know that, so it doesn't make sense to me. Surely it means she's on edge or scared, right? That's why she's telling him not to come over right now.

Puede ser, pero ojo, esto es de México/Texas.
Misterio...

Tampoco conozco la expresión, pero por el context parece que quiere decir "estoy muy ansiosa", ¿no?

17:33 Mar 15, 2020 

en cuanto a la pregunta, quizá "I'm very hot"... esperemos.

17:31 Mar 15, 2020 

Yo pensé lo mismo... "take a cold shower"

17:01 Mar 15, 2020 

...difícil, no conozco la expresión, pero

"man - pero mi chula, vengo muy duro
GF- pos aguas con yelo chulo"

me lleva a pensar que él está "muy caliente" (me entiendes) pues ella le dice que se eche agua con hielo. Suerte.
