from Colombia
man describing a threatening message from the FARC
"me manifestaron que ella habia vuelto a la casa, que con este acto ella demostró que no estimaba su vida, ni la de su hijo, ni la de su familia, que esa "hijueputa" les estaba volando la piedra y que de seguir asi su fin estaba proximo"
Can someone confirm what this means. I think it's equivalent to the British saying "taking the piss".
thanks
