    some phrases

    привет,
    Please help me with these phrases.
    спасибо за помощь.

    Прикинь, какая житуха была!

    И портвешок и водяры накатим!

    Оттянемся, нафиг!

    Сам ты не держался! - завелся с пол-оборота Прохор, чуя, что сейчас припрут его к стенке за явное и наглое вранье.
    Кому - нары, кому - Канары.

    Представь, какая жизнь была!

    И портвешок и водки выпьем!

    Отлично проведём время (напьёмся, расслабимся)!

    Сам ты не держался! - завелся с пол-оборота Прохор, чуя, что сейчас ему придётся отвечать (нести ответственность, расплачиваться) за явное и наглое вранье.
    Ну и книжечки Вы читаете
    Correct my English, please.

    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    What are the infinitves of oттянемся and припрут?

    How can нафиг be translated?

    is оборота slang for "a moment"?

    No. пол-оборота = half-turn. That's quasi-technical slang phrase.

    он заводится с пол-оборота ~ he has a hair-trigger temper

    спасибо
    с пол-оборота derives from automobile engine. Fine-tuned engine will start after only half-turn of a crankshaft so when someone say завёлся с пол-оборота that means quite easily, just like a fine-tuned engine.

    I hate to be a pain in the ass or seem to picky but none of those defintions seem to cover the use of нафиг in Оттянемся, нафиг!

    спасибо большое за помощь.

    Нафиг doesn't mean anything here, it's put in the phrase just for emphasis.
