3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +4
peer agreement (net): +4we're busted Explanation: After conferring with my (British) husband, we came up with: "we're busted, let's split" We couldn't think of more literal and equivalent expression. "busted" is a general word for being found out, it doesn't necessarily imply that the police is the authority doing the busting. Hope this helps. |
