pull and bear ???
hi
maybe it's silly, but i was wondering if i should translate "pull and bear" as a two words or one phrase (together).
is it some kind of idiom? i haven't found anything like "pull and bear" (together), but would it make any sense if i translate it "severally"?
any idea?

Hi, I'm afraid that I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never heard of an idiom involving 'pull and bear'. I don't know what you mean here by severally.

"Pull and bear" is a shop's "name".
I know it's weird. I usually don't think about things like that, but if I see english words, I try to figure out, what's going on.So, I've translated it and it makes no sense, so I thought it's an idiom ;D
Don't you think it's uncommon name for shop?
By severally (well, maybe this word doesn't fit in this context) I meant translating "pull", "a

Are you quite sure it wasn't the "Bull and Bear"? It seems a lot of pubs in England have names like that.
I can't imagine how you would translate "the pull" - I can't imagine what that is supposed to mean.

Hmmm...there's an expression " to take a pull" which refers to drinking. "He took a long pull on his beer"--could that be it?
If your English were perfect you wouldn't be writing us--then we would have nothing to do!
I once spoke no English. I remember how it felt. I wish I had had a forum like this to help me!

"Pull and Bear" is the name of a manufacturer of high-quality, expensive designer-label clothes. They sell mainly through outlets, franchises in big department stores.
It is a Spanish company though its first store was in Portugal.
The name is almost certainly not translatable other than word-for-word. It means nothing - just a nice sound for the label in English. It may be a

Fascinating! Threads, threads and more threads... (Oh, I just realized that "threads" also is slang for clothing!)

Alan.es The ultra-modren Spanish media companies like to invent words and expressions which don't exist in English but have a nice marketing sound.Well , it's possible, but if someone is crazy about English, he/she wants to know

Well, I'm a native speaker, and I find it a little frustrating myself. It ought to mean something, darn it. Perhaps at the subconscious level? Can't we get some pomo textual analysis here?
