Que te folle un pez

Go screw yourself

ES
Example

¡Anda, que te folle un pez, pesado!

When to use it

After someone cuts you off in traffic and then flips you off, you roll down the window and shout this as a furious comeback.

What it means

Literally, it means "may a fish fuck you," with "que" introducing a wish/curse.
In practice, it's a very aggressive way to tell someone to go screw themselves or to get lost, often said in anger. It's deliberately absurd and crude, which makes it sound extra insulting rather than poetic. You'll mostly hear it in Spain-style slang; it's not something you'd say in polite company. Because it's so vulgar, many people use it only jokingly among friends or censor it (e.g., "que te folle un pez…") when half-serious. Sometimes intensified to "que te folle un pez espada" (I hope you get f**cked by a swordfish)

Don't confuse it with

"Que te folle un pez" does not mean you are a loser, something smells fishy, slippery as a fish. It specifically means "Go screw yourself".
