Eviscerate

[Pixter]

Soo I was reading the Huffington Post and I came across this headline:
John Stweart eviscerates Jim Cramer

I understand it but how would this be translated in Spanish...hmm....talvez: John desangra a Jim ??? LOL I don't know...

Would eviscerate be the same as dissect??? I remember back in high school we would dissect frogs...

Lo destrozó/estropeó/maltrató.
He didn't actually take out his innards (extraer/extirpar las vísceras).

[demcfarlane]

Desangrar is more like "to bleed" or "to remove the blood from", as in the cave man days when a person would be bled. Yuch!

For saying "to eviscerate", how about one of these: desentrañar / destripar / sacar las entrañas / extraer las víceras de ...

I think eviscerate is not so much "to dissect" as it is "to disembowel" or "to tear the bowels out of"... though, I heartily agree with your attitude toward dissection.

A good Spanish verb for "to dissect" might be disecar or diseccionar

Yes, but in this case it was meant figuratively. Rusty's choice of estropear seems really good in this case.

I agree with demcfarlane that "destripar" would be the right choice: "John destripa a Jim", even about the figurative meaning.

One could also say, as Rusty suggested, "John destroza a Jim".

Specificallywould mean "desentrañar"

O sea, sacarle las entrañas.

Vísceras y entrañas = Tripas

Aunque is viscerally akin.
