@Guillen - Thanks! Do you know from the complaint if the speaker could be from somewhere other than Spain, even if the complaint is from there?
guillen (asker) Jul 14, 2020:
Should be "desgraciado" (my error)
Marcelo González Jul 14, 2020:
@Guillen I wonder if 'disgraciado' instead of 'desgraciado' reflects the person's pronunciation.

Gracias Muriel!
agree Brenda Ramirez : Está bien pero no olvides la última palabra "desgraciado", quizá está ahí para enfatizar más la oración. Algo como: Go to hell, idiot!

I think you'll find this quite effective if uttered with a Glasgow accent.

However, if your target audience is the US, they might not get the message.
