Bulgarian term or phrase: оревавам орталъка!
Оревавам орталъка = оревавам всичко! Изразът означава "да се оплаквам пред всички и всичко; пред всички възможни инстанции или значими личности; най-вече без (значима/и) причина/и. Изразът е западно-български. Не знам дали се среща из България. Приемам предложения и на други езици, ако някой може да помогне! Искрени предварителни благодарности!

Направих справка в Немско-английския си речник и там израза го дават преведен като "to make/kick up a great fuss about something".
