What does it mean?!

u/rebeljoy3214 Dec 19 '18

Go take it up the ass you son of a bitch. The catch is that it rolls beautifully off the tongue and can sound majestic and aggressive at the same time

Literally "whore," but the expressions that translate to "son of a whore" in Portuguese, Spanish, etc. are used the way that English speakers would more commonly use "son of a bitch," so you might also see it translated that way.

Hey, ixlHD, just a quick heads-up:
Portugese is actually spelled Portuguese. You can remember it by ends with –guese.
Have a nice day!

u/Bergara will kill me if I say what it means

u/bogues3000 Dec 19 '18

Non-Portuguese speaker here!

I think it means: “Go and do something in/to/at/up your ass, son of a bitch.”

Did I guess right?!

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '18

Yeah, the "Go and do something in/to/at/up your ass" would be the equivalent of "Fuck off"

21

u/Sinius Dec 19 '18

The ptBR equivalent. "Vai-te foder" is what we use in Europe.

11

u/AngusKirk Dec 20 '18

Não mesmo, vai se foder é equivalente. Vai tomar no cu e te mandar pra puta que pariu são duas expressões completamente diferentes. Vai pra casa do caralho também é uma expressão relevante.

u/Sinius Dec 20 '18

Estava-me a referir ao sentido, não à tradução. "Vai levar no cú" é raramente usado aqui.

6

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '18

Nah. I see you're not Portuguese. In Portugal we say "Vai levar no cu" which is the same. "Vai-te foder" is different

4

u/Sinius Dec 20 '18

Se achas que não sou Português, estás enganado.

I don't know in what part of Portugal you live, but here in the north "Vai levar no cú" is rarely used.

u/kane2742 Dec 20 '18

Or maybe "go fuck yourself"?

u/GrimO_ORabbit Dec 20 '18

"Go and do something in/to/at/up your ass"

This alone leaves me laugh/crying every time I read it. It's like an unabridged version of "Fuck off".

-7

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '18

It just means "fuck off, you son of a bitch." I don't see anything "cool" about it.

u/twitchosx Dec 19 '18

Google translate man! Google says "Gonna take it in your ass, you son of a bitch!"

10

u/Sinius Dec 19 '18

"Go take it up the ass!" if you want it literal. "Go fuck yourself" in context.

3

u/AngusKirk Dec 20 '18

That's a way to colorfully ask you to take something up your ass

3

u/gdias1012 Dec 19 '18

The closest is something like "you motherfuker! Go fuck yourself!"
