Punk - turn me some jailhouse tricks! Explanation: If you go for 3 + 3 = 6, this could keep to the rhyme and the notable homoerotic aggression you have mentioned. http://www.englishforums.com/English/AQuestionPrisonBreakPun... Hi, There's also a possible sexual meaning. In prison slang, a 'punk' can also mean a young male prisoner who is taken, often unwillingly, as the homosexual partner of an older, stronger prisoner. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/punk The term 'bitch' is also used sometimes with this meaning.

Por el culo te la hinco Your ass will be deprived! Explanation: A very tricky one indeed, especially considering the subtitle restraint. There’s not a great deal of one- and two-syllable words that rhyme with five, have a look here: http://www.rhymer.com/RhymingDictionary/five.html From those, the only one that I can render into any sort of similar meaning is ‘deprive’, which I think conveys the same sort of message. ‘Test-drive’ also has merit (especially the ‘drive’ part, for obvious reasons), but I can’t work it into anything that sounds half decent. Anyway, here’s my two cents worth: Boy A: What’s two plus three? Boy B: Five. Boy A: Your ass will be deprived! Sounds pretty lame to me, but there you go. |
