pasar por la piedra
Spanish
Etymology
Literally, “to pass through the stone”. It alludes to a round stone on which the victorious Roman centurion sodomized the defeated warlord and warriors, in plain view of the victors and the other defeated soldiers, as a form of humiliation and domination. In modern colloquial language, it means having exclusively physical sex with someone, performed in a rough and aggressive manner, though usually consensually.
