To tell somebody wrong - meaning
|
|
Hi, I can �t find the meaning of this expression: You told me wrong. Any ideas? The whole sentence is: If you hadn �t gone and told me wrong I wouldn �t go of like this. I have an idea on how to say it in Spanish, but I �m not sure.
Thanks, Olga |

It �s a very very informal phrase which means that you gave me the wrong information or you told me something which was incorrect. I hope that helps. |

As HH says it �s very informal - actually, it �s not grammatically correct. To say it correctly with no grammatical errors would be something like: �If you hadn �t told/given me the wrong information, I wouldn �t have gone off like that. � or �That [information] was wrong. �
