Predator (1987)

Question: There is a scene where after Dillon accidentally kicks a log down the hill, Mac says to him, "You're ghosting' us, motherfucker. I don't care who you are back in the world. You give our position one more time, I'll bleed you, real quiet, and leave you here. Got that?" What did he mean by that?

Answer: To translate: "Making noise like that could get us killed. I don't care that you're a CIA agent, if you give away our position like that again, I'll kill you quietly and leave your body here. Do you understand?"

Answer: I always thought that the line started with "They're ghosting us." That would make more sense.

"You're ghosting us" would suggest that Dillon's careless actions will make them ghosts, i.e. get them killed.
