Help (please)
Hi, everyone
Could you help me with two questions?
1) In a game, a man says to another about a third one "Gauchos on this guy".. What does it mean?
2) In a movie, I heard this: See, we got warning lights going off in our car all the time.
Why going off and not "on"?
3)Do you sit in or on the back seat?
Thank you very much!

Reference: Webster unabridged - this word comes from Spanish/Portuguese. Pampas is a region in South Brazil, Uruguay and Argentine. Search Google Images.

Not really sure what "guachos" would mean. It must be slang of some kind.
"Going off" means that something (usually an alarm or lights of some kind) is resounding. "My alarm is going off" means that my alarm turned on this morning to wake me up. To be honest, I am not sure why we say it this way instead of "on", we just do! Sorry I can't be more help here.
We sit IN the back seat. :)
Sorry I can't be of more help!
