==Spanish== 

 Conversation with a user on Livejournal: 

  
 "Chinga la frontera" works, but the other two literally mean "to fuck/fuck with/screw/screw up" the border. Like "joder la frontera" to me sounds like someone's going to go down and move the fence  
 around or something. But I'm assuming the meaning of the original is like "I/we don't care about the border." 

 I'd say something more like "Al diablo/Al demonio con la frontera" (to hell with the border). Spaniards would say "Me cago en la frontera" to express the same thing (lit. "I shit on the border")  
 which is both closer to the meaning than "joder la frontera" and much stronger than "joder"—I'd say that "me cago en ~" is probably the most offensive swear word/phrase in Spain, and "joder" the  
 least so. "Joder" to me is somewhat less strong than "damn" in English. 

 Or as an example, if I were planning to skip class, and someone said to me "But what about your exam?" I might say "Me cago en el examen" ... literally "I shit on the exam," but a better English  
 translation would be "Fuck the exam!" 

 - Ok thanks, I'll make that change, and make more enquiries about the Colombian one when my friend next comes online. Thanks again for the explanation ) 

 One thing you might want to make clear is that you're looking for an exclamation, not the phrase "to fuck the border." I mean, "putear" is "to fuck" (in the sexual sense, possibly in other senses)  
 but you don't literally mean you want to know how to say "to [sexually] fuck the border." 

 You could say "¡Puta frontera!" (fucking border) which is obviously related (though again, in Spain it wouldn't be very strong). 

 As I said, "¡Chinga la frontera!" is correct for Mexican Spanish. "Chingar" is "to fuck" in just about all the senses we us it in English. 

 - Cool thanks, I'll make that clear. I'm sure you can see from the Talk page that it can be difficult finding translations ) 

 Oh, and btw if you're looking for borders in the plural, "la frontera" would "las fronteras" (chinga las fronteras*/me cago en las fronteras). 

 *I'm debating, but I think "chinga" is still correct here, right? It's not supposed to agree with "fronteras" is it? It's not really my dialect. 

 - Thats one thing I'm unsure of. In the English its ok to have just the singular "border", as in to stand for the idea of borders. In the French I understand it isn't ok. I'm not sure about Spanish. 
 - Like if you say the expression in English in the singular, people will know that you mean not just one border, but all. 

 Actually when I heard it in English, I assumed it meant the Mexican-American border specifically (or rather, that it meant a specific border, and most likely Mexico-US since that's the one that's  
 most controversial here). It didn't occur to me that it meant borders in general. 

 Spanish is more likely to use the singular where English uses the plural (like "the students raised their hands," "los estudiantes levantaron la mano") but here I'd think you'd need the plural in  
 both. Is the song actually called "Fuck the Border"?
