An emphatic phrase used to stress the speaker's commitment to do something, often with the implicit agreement that if they don't follow through, they would be doing a great disservice to their mother. Literally translates to 'A lot to my mother if not', but it is often used to mean 'I swear on my mother's grave'.
Examples
- Spanish: 'Chingo a mi madre si no termino este proyecto antes del viernes'.
- English: 'I swear on my mother's grave I will finish this project before Friday'.
