- - Al talego con (https://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=14962)

Seems like a vulgar sometimes justified term like :to hell with (all these bots;))

Is the term strictly peninsular? Is my interpretation correct.

Talego in Spain is slang for "jail".

"Al talego con" I'd think it means "to jail with..." literally.
