English term or phrase: 'arf
Hola:

Esta palabra al parecer abreviada aparece en un diálogo entre londinenses. El personaje que habla le reclama a su locutor porque se tarda demasiado en conseguir unas esmeraldas que le ha encargado.

Esta es la frase:

"'Ere," said X to Y "you aren't 'arf taking your time about those emeralds."

La palabra o expresión equivalente se debe adaptar al español ibérico.

Gracias de antemano,

Nicolás

mucho
Explanation:
aren't 'arf = are not half= no poco = mucho

La frase quedaría algo como "estáis demorando mucho p'a decidirte por esas esmeraldas, joder" Sorry, pero el ibérico no es mi fuerte :)
