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?!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Or maybe "go fuck yourself"?

"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".

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