Spanish term or phrase: por el culo te la hinco
Hello all,
I've come across a difficult obstacle in a paragraph that i am translating. It involves a rhyming trick joke question. One boy asks another "cuanto son dos mas tres". The other replies "cinco" to which the first boy responds "por el culo te la hinco". I can't think of any dirty english jokes that follow this structure. A literal translation is obviously out of the question. Any suggestions?
Many thanks to whoever responds

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.

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.

You can learn a lot of unpleasant things by watching movies and even TV, these days.

turn a trick Slang (of a prostitute) to gain a customer


---------

This last one is something prisoners must often do, either willingly or unwillingly, simply in order to survive in the prison environment. Likewise for the strong and the weak in other settings.


Alternatively, "maybe, "turn da jailhouse tricks" - "da" for "the"


But it all depends on the source text country and target audience too, of course. Taking into account your commentary as well.

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.

agree  Marcelo González: Yes, but with 4+5 (as Peter suggests), 'your ass is mine' brings up the rear rather nicely ;)) I still like my suggestion 3 days later, now 10 years ago: 'up yours, don't cry' -- 'your ass is mine's more sarcastic cousin ;))

up yours, [and] don't cry


Explanation:
Given the context (of children), something like this might be an option.

A:How much is 2+3?
B:Five
A:Up yours, [and] don't cry

I hope this helps!
