Rude expressions
I've been asked to translate a letter which is intended to be a little bit rude. Is there any equivalent to this: "Não tarda nada, ela está a pedir o dito lavado com água de malvas"? :D
Thanks in advance for your help!

(in no time) she'll want her ass licked
ou - she'll be asking to lick her ass
lamento Teressa, mas se a intenção é para ser rude, traduziria assim. "o dito lavado com água de malvas" está a ser traduzido literalmente e creio, que rouba o sentido à expressão. lick asses, é dar graxa, lambe-botas, fazer todas as vontades. Bem, se é para ser mal-educado, eu dou esa hipótese. Bom trabalho
