Ahh, that's okay, Mexicans always make these mistakes... Gordon's right
though, this expression is originally Brittish, I got it from a joke I
heard when I was about ten, it goes:
An RSM was conducting a Commando course on Self Defence, he wanted to
get his men to think under the pressure of hand to hand combat. In his
eloquently rough brittish bark he asked "Alright Men, what steps would
you take if the enemy came charging at you with a Bayonette?". a short
and uncomforting silence was broken by a low voice from the back:
"...dirty great big ones"
that archive is 33Gig in size.
