19 mins confidence: 
peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3"to ice" or "to rub out" Explanation: The meaning is "to kill" or, perhaps, "to physically exhaust smb." I would agree with "do in", but also would look into smth with even more flavor - like "ice" or "rub out". On the other hand, the guy (gal) says this about him/herself, so it should be less derogatory. Finally, in Russian "uhaidakat" is a word with Turkic origins, so maybe some ethnic slang word might convey the meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2004-07-03 17:48:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- of course, this translation does not apply to the second meaning - i.e. \"physically exhaust\". but as the request is \"pray for my soul if they rub me out\", the word is probably used in the first meaning. |
