Danish to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Pige A: ”Altså, hvis der var nogen, der gjorde det der mod mig, som hun har gjort mod dig, ik”
Pige B: ”Ja”
Pige C: ”Så ville jeg eddermandme ***tænde af**”

Hvad betyder at "tænde af"? Der er ikke mere kontekst, jeg ved ikke hvad det er, "hun har gjort".

Tak,
Maria
