English term or phrase: it's gooseberries
Contexto: 2 homens conversando a respeito de uma gangue de falsários que estão tentando capturar. Há vários mistérios envolvendo essa gangue.
Um dos homens tenta desvendar, mas não consegue. Tudo o que ele fala faz sentido, mas, ao mesmo tempo, tb não faz. O outro, então, comenta:
"It's gooseberries. That bastard gang is playing with us."
Qual o equivalente em PT do Brasil?
Always Learning
é bobagem
Explanation:
Não sei se em PTBR se usa a expressão "caça aos gambozinos", se sim, era assim que eu responderia:
"É bobagem. Esse gangue nos está enviando em uma caça de gambozinos."

Se não, traduziria:
"É bobagem. Esse gangue está brincando com a gente."

Sugg.
