morrer.. mãos ao alto Explanation: "peg it" / "stick 'em up" => morrer.. mãos ao alto "I wasn't gonna peg it" => I wasn't going to die => não iria morrer stick 'em up => mãos ao alto peg out Sl. to die. I was so scared, I thought I would peg out for sure. Uncle Herman almost pegged out last week. http://www.idioms.thefreedictionary.com/peg stick 'em up => mãos ao alto => probably in this context means she is going to give them a farewell hug (abraço de despedida) because she is letting them go |
