Portuguese term or phrase: PASSAR O TRATOR (GÍRIA)
Prezados Colegas,
Estou com urgência de traduzir a expressão "PASSAR O TRATOR" no seguinte contexto:
"Portanto, considerando as múltiplas violações materiais acima exemplificadas, sem citar as humilhações constantes, como o episódio público do fundador de X de reunião com investidores para a qual havia sido convidado, além de ameaças verbais de PASSAR O TRATOR e outras violências cujas palavras não merecem estar registradas."
Desde já agradeço sua valiosíssima ajuda!
