gave him the cold shoulder/told him to talk to the hand
"A da cu flit" mai înseamnă şi a da papucii, dar nu-mi dau seama din frază dacă e vorba despre asta.

: cold shoulder = a ignora, "talk to the hand " = tot a ignora dar mai urat spus, in nici un caz "a trimite la plimbare" cum sugereaza contextul/ ultimele! "l-am flituit" nu inseamna l-am ignorat ci " l-am trimis la plimbare" :)
