Para ellos quienes ya perdieron sus pantalones y tambien lo que queda de su sobriedad -
Try this one next time you're pushing the envelope: "Hola querida, quisiera hacerte el amor - !Apasionadamente!"
It's almost as effective as "?Como se llama, Mama?".
If you survive those, I'm sure others with experience in the "Family Business" can offer further suggestions.
It's not really living unless it's on the ragged bleeding edge (or so they had me convinced when I was 30 years younger!  ).

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Yes - sorta. Tiro, tirar, tirando, and all of its other forms; it's a very versatile word, especially in the colloquial. It's so versatile that you ocassionally have to exercise caution when using it in mixed company.
Get yourself a quality bilingual dictionary. I've used the Nuevo Diccionario Cuyas de Appleton, Ingles-Espanol y Espanol-Ingles, Quinta Edicion, Revisada por Arturo Cuyas (C) 1972 by Prentice-Hall since I was a student at DLI in 83. It was compiled for Spanish speakers to translate back and forth to English. For our purposes it is superior to anything I've found for English speakers. FWIW, YMMV

Ahh. I see how tiros might not be suitable in mixed company.
Thank you for the recomendation, sir. I found a bunch for sale on Amazon. I have the 501 Spanish Verbs book and I definately need a dictionary to accompany my two Pablo Neruda books.

I think you've got a typo.
The Secret Service manual plainly shows "cambia(n) puta"

And we have a winner!
I wondered how long it would take for someone to "go there"! (As it turns out, longer than I thought.)

Of course, one must always be mindful of the source one turns to for Spanish translation assistance. Beaver Cleaver learned that lesson the hard way when he took Eddie Haskell's translation assistance in telling his new Spanish-speaking friend that he was a 'swell guy'! Eddie's translation: "Usted tiene una cara como puerco."
Hilarity ensued.
