Portuguese term (edited):
vou dar um pit�
escândalo feito por homossexual (geralmente homem)
Equivale a: "vou rodar a baiana".
Talvez, algo como "Don't make me go over there";

Jussara Simoes (X)
: Concordo com a equivalência (rodar a baiana), mas não concordo com a acentuação (piti não leva acento por ser oxítona terminada em i) e com o "homossexual", pois os pitis partem de homens e de mulheres, sem distinção de sexo.

Claudia da Matta
: O colega está pedindo a tradução para o inglês e não tem nada a ver com homossexual; piti é um ataque de nervos que crianças e mulheres podem ter. Aliás, 'rodar a baiana' também não se aplica, pois significa brigar com alguém.
