to get someone worked up against someone
Ovo je idiom za:
"nahuskati nekoga protiv nekoga".
Pr.: "I see by your attitude that he has got you worked up against me".
Nadam se da vam je ovo od pomoci. Sve zavisi od konteksta.

Ovo je idiomatski izraz koji bi upravo odgovarao nasem \"huskanju\" , tj. gl. \"huskati\".

: This is the closest English gets to huskati and the Englishman got it. I am usually reluctant to rely on bilingual dictionaries. That is the gusto in translating, searching for that elusive meaning.

: Yes, Mina, I completely agree with you (and with Mark, of course). B. dic., however, are sometimes inevitable. Though "stir things up" would be our " podstaci", which is, in fact, one of the many meanings of the word "huskati"./Stir smb. up against smb.
