This one goes for a student of mine. While in class, she asked me how to say 'ele pisou nos meus calos'. For a moment, I thought and realized I had no idea how to say that! So I looked up in the dictionary.
Here it goes:
According to Oxford, 'calo' is CORN. And the expression is: 'to tread sb's corns / toes'.
e.g. He trod on my corns.
This idiomatic expression is the same as we use here in Brazil.
Tread means: to set down the foot or feet in walking; step; walk
The questions is: is it still used nowadays?
