put something over on
Dyvla på actually means swear

However, sometimes you see it meaning to play the devil on someone....in other words to fool them.

shovel it on
I'm pretty sure the slang means to "shovel something on somebody" that they don't really need. I'm not quite as confident in how to put it in English, though.

: I don't recognise "shovel" in this sense, but you could use "offload... onto"
