"You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal, and it's beginning to piss me off."
J'aime bien cette phrase. :D
american use it every where and all the time!! :D
oui mais quand l'employer?
I think that when you give an information , and just at the end , you say: get it? . It means : do you understand.
I like the expression of John Doe too.
I am not sure that translation is the best way to learn english , or any other language .
You may borrow in a librairy some bilingual novel.
There is a very good novel "Animal farm" from "George Orwell". There is a bilingual edition , folio, gallimard . If you can't borrow it , you can buy it . It is a pocket edition , not very expensive . This novel is not very long ,and not very hard to understand .
Some bilingual are very hard.
It is a good way to improve your english ; and to wait a answer from somebody.
You are certainly very kind , but all of us have ours own occupations

an other idea to get information about got:
http://www.wordreference.com/definition/got
some phrases are difficult to understand , but some are clear , and you can improve your knowledge of the use of got.
Anyway it is an irregular verb
to get, Igot, got
I like the english dictionnary www.wordreference . When I find a word that I don't know , I prefer to go in this dictionnary than to an english french dictionnary.
If I cannot understand then I go to an english french dictionnary
i've been trying to come up with a good answer, but the simple fact is: "got" has a lot of different uses! here are a few of them, but just remember this is not all of them! (maybe we should start a sticky thread with different uses of got, this is a question i get a lot by email...)
a grammar point: the past participle is sometimes "got" and sometimes "gotten" -- personally, i say "i've gotten" but many people say "i've got"
meanings:
- to receive: I got a letter two days ago.
- to understand: [an explanation of something]...do you get it? (thank you patard)
- to have: "You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal, and it's beginning to piss me off." (thank you John Doe) (note: technically, this should be "you've got" but it is very casual so the "have" gets dropped -- actually a very common use)
- to be/become: as in my sentence above, "...so the 'have' gets dropped[/i]
the verb "to get" is one of the most difficult verbs in english, and i think it's best to learn it by examples, because there's simply a huge number of uses for it! remember, most of the time when someone uses it, there is another way to say the same thing

Hello Jhon Doe,
Peut-être que j'aimerais aussi cette phrase ... if I would understand it.
Would you translate it for me and maybe for the other people, please. Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day.
Pas de soucis. ;)
"Tu as une notion "mot plus ou moins vulgaire" du fair play mon pote, et ça commence à me faire ch*er."
Thank you John Doe, it is clear now.
Bye :)
