Verb

macetar (first-person singular present maceto, first-person singular preterite macetei, past participle macetado)

1. (transitive) to strike someone with a mallet
2. (transitive) to create or do something using tricks or cheats; to cheat
3. (transitive, informal) to have sex with; to fuck

   Synonyms: comer, foder

   Eu macetaria ele

   I would have sex with him

   Eu macetei ela a noite inteira.

   I fucked her the whole night.

Usage notes

• Macetar in the third sense is mostly used when referring to other people other than the hearer, but can also be used that way. It is less vulgar than foder and comer, but is still informal. It may also have a conditional meaning in the present, thus "Eu maceto ele" would rather mean "I would have sex with him" than "I have sex with him".
