Nah. "How so?" is universal, I suppose.

  • "Rooted her to the ground"
  • "Nettle rash"
  • "Neighbour"
  • "Got such a fright"
  • Invited "in for a cup of tea"

Well, now I'm blushing... I should have Irish'd it up a bit and called her an feckin' eejit or a langer... :D

I actually can't think of any other way to say "rooted her to the ground" or "nettle rash" in English. The aforementioned blushing is probably affecting that though. And I didn't want to imply my niece literally shit herself...

No need to blush. Haha. I enjoyed all the Englishisms. To translate I'd probably say something like (in order):

  • Froze in place.
  • Hives
  • Neighbor
  • Was so frightened
  • Shot him due to "stand your ground" laws in the south (American gun laws joke)
