skirt off escabullirse Explanation: As others have rightly said in the discussion box, “skirt off into a corner” is not a regular English idiom. However an expression that most certainly is a regular English idiom involves the expression “slink off”, which is a straightforward synonym of “skirt off” in this context. skirt off into the corner --> escabullirse en el rincón https://www.linguee.com/english-spanish/translation/slink of... Given that “skirt off” has so few references on the web, I wonder if it isn’t in fact a typo (or over-zealous spell-checker) in the ST. |
