Take the 2-minute tour ×  What is the correct way to express
this idiomatic expression? -- Stir the pot --  My goal is to say
something like "she stirs the pot even more by inviting this
person to her house."  I would imagine I could get away with
saying something like,  Ella complica la circumstancia más por
invitar a esta persona a su casa.  but that doesn't sit well
with me as a good translation. In English, "stir the pot" has a
distinct meaning and a distinct way of expressing the
complications such that I wouldn't even have to mention the
situation at all.  share|improve this question BTW, "por
invitar" does not seem right to me here, I'd prefer "al invitar"
or "invitando" –  leonbloy Apr 6 '13 at 2:55 "revolver la olla"
and "revolver el estofado" were quite common in Argentina, but
not much used nowadays –  belisarius Apr 6 '13 at 18:55 Does
that not literally mean to stir the pot though? –  dockeryz Apr
