Hoorays! Angels back! *happy cop dance of joy*
I'm glad the cat is still alive. 
Also... by the way... Quetz does NOT need to be reminded how far her physical conditioning has slipped. Standby for SUPER BITCH MODE.
In all sincerity, though... Hans, I hope that everything that's been going on for the last while has worked itself out

I ask you to help me out with a phrase the b**** says, as my English is not good enough for it:
"the ... chick that we BLEW said cover for..."
"the ... chick that we BLEW said cover for..."
spoiled: parents never tell her no
chubby: too much candy makes you this way
dago: slang term for hispanics... out-of-date in the US, to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks, but I need help with the words I have written - the third line in the speech bubble. I don't get grammar and sense, even though I think to know each of the words.

That's understandable, it's an awkward sentence.
"Especially to find the spoiled, chubby dago chick that we blew said cover for doesn't have what we're after anyway."
To phrase it differently "chick that we revealed (blew) our aforementioned (said) covert position (cover) for"
*headdesk* my mistake, I'm sorry

To blow one's cover = being undercover, and having to come out of it for some reason, thus failing your mission of remaining undetected.

"Dago" is actually a slur for Italians. It's out of date because most people in the US don't make any distinctions between European ethnicities now; they all get lumped together by skin color these days.
I'd heard it both ways, to be honest...
Then you're hearing it from idiots.
I'm not so sure about that O.C. The only times that I have heard the expression used have been in Hollywood films!
No, Dego commonly refers to someone of hispanic descent. Wap is more common for itallians.
No, I'm pretty sure I'm still right. Apparently it's a largely American usage when referring to Italians, and British usage when referring to Spaniards. Look it up.
