Spanish term

te voy a preguntar como chingaos lo quieres

May offend Spanish to English Other Slang Mexico
an e-mail message from Mexico, filled with curse words and slang, written as a warning to the recipient not to take further action. I may only ask one question at a time, but it continues with the words: >>como fabiruchis o como k-pax

see explanation: Fabiruchis and K-Paz de la Sierra

The writer is probably referring to Fabian LaValle, Fabiruchis, a presenter on Televisa who was recently hospitalized for severe trauma, allegedly because of a beating by a male prostitute, for lack of payment.

K-Pax is probably supposed to be K-Paz (pronounced "capaz"), of the group, K-Paz de la Sierra, recently murdered by strangulation in a string of assassinations among musicians in the banda or grupera genre.

Both incidents occured in the past few months, I believe November in the first case and December in the second.

So "I'm asking you how the fuck you want it" pretty much sounds like a threat on someone's life or at least wellbeing.

I attached a couple of links, the first ones I found, but there are hundreds if you look either incident up on Google.

K-Paz's real name is Sergio Gómez and was a Grammy nominee

Sorry, I skipped the translation itself, though I can't imagine this is for publication:

I'm asking you how the fuck you want it: do you want to be beaten like Fabiruchis, or tortured and killed like K-Paz de la Sierra.

thanks. As I responded to Terry Burgess, these events are common knowledge to anyone in Mexico with access to a TV or newspaper, so it wasn't too hard.
agree María Anabella Rocchi : wow!
