Help with Spanish
How do you say "bugger off" in Spanish? 
Or "bugger off or I'll kick you to Madrid" or "have you ever tasted a knuckle sandwich?" or any other *useful* Spanish hehe...

Leave me alone!
Go away!
!Déjeme en paz!
!Váyase!
de-khe-me en path
baya-se
Are you anticipating problems? Both the Rick Steves and Lonely Planet phrasebooks have "dating" sections which contain phrases for accepting or rejecting attention.

Nah, I was thinking of something to say to the gypsy kids or North African males or anyone else who tries to get dodgy on me
I don't mind guys trying to pick me up, but I think all I have to do is flex my muscles to keep the pests away. From what I understand, Southern European/Spanish men don't like bodybuilder women...(and I already have my Viking anyways)

Suze is right. Despite the fact that it's very annoying - sometimes even distressing - to be hassled by sleazy guys, touts or gypsies when in a foreign country, it's *not* a good idea to get confrontational. It will not go down well.
Do what the locals do - just ignore them.
If it's gypsy kids, by far the best option is to avoid catching their eye, and stride purposefully down the street, pretending that you haven't seen/heard them.
If you're sitting at a cafe and are bothered by persistent beggars, just say no, and then don't look at them again. Read your book, talk to your friend, pick your nose, whatever ;o)

I am west of the Atlantic and I know exactly what "Bugger off" means but usually the only people I ever here use the term is Canadian women
I just want to learn the phrase Brenden Fraser (sp?) used in Encino Man... all I know is that it translated out to "The cheese is old and moldy". Sure seemed to get him out of a jam
