siblings – rodzeństwo

put something on your credit card – zapłacić za coś kartą kredytową

CHIP IN

We all chipped in and bought flowers for the secretaries.

They all chipped in 50 pounds and bought their mother a trip to Greece.

Why don't we all chip in 10 dollars to hire a hit man to get you when you sleep? (said sarcastically)

On top of this, last week she threw a party for her 18th birthday and asked us all to chip in five pounds for the drinks.

to hire – wynająć, zatrudnić

a hit man – płatny morderca

on top of this – w dodatku

KICK IN

We all kicked in to cover the expense of the phone calls, which in the 80's were expensive.

We all kicked in money for the van and each threw in another 5 for Justin to stay sober and drive us around all day. Justin made 45 dollars!

Everyone brought their own entrée that could be grilled and we all kicked in on the veggies and desserts.

to cover (the expense of) – pokryć koszt

the 80's –lata osiemdziesiąte

to throw in – dorzucić

to stay sober – pozostać trzeźwym

entrée – danie główne

to grill - piec

veggies – vegetables – warzywa

PITCH IN

We all need to pitch in 2 dollars to fix Kaitlin's phone because that H key is pissing me off .

I figure if I can get 500 people to pitch in 2 dollars, I can raise the $1000.

Everyone will pitch in 5 dollars and we'll buy an island somewhere and we can party with glow sticks and Nutella forever on our island.

If cost is an issue, I would suggest every racer pitch in 5 quid and I'm sure you would be able to fund the purchase.

to fix – naprawić

to piss someone off – wkurzać kogoś

I figure – tak sobie myślę

to raise (money) – uzbierać

an issue – problem

a racer – uczestnik wyścigu

quid – funt(y)

to fund – sfinansować

a purchase – zakup

glow sticks

a glow party pack

THROW DOWN

The keg is a great option if you can get everyone to throw down 5 dollars beforehand or at the door.

I threw down forty dollars when the bill came last night.

New FLYERS!!! Maybe if everyone at the next meet wants to throw down 2 dollars to help get them printed I would appreciate that. 

 

a keg  – beczka

beforehand – wcześniej

at the door – przed wejściem

flyers – ulotki

a meet – a meeting – spotkanie

I would appreciate that – Byłabym/byłbym wdzięczna/y

a beer keg

GO SPLITS ON

This English weather SUCKS! Let's all go splits on a Greek Island!

If she didn't offer to go splits on the 1st or 2nd date, there wouldn't be a 3rd, IMO.

I have a car so we could possibly go splits on gas or, if our timing works out to be different, drive separately.

to suck – być do bani

a date – randka

IMO – in my opinion

works out to be different – okaże się inny
