Payback is a bitch
Ciao, sto traducendo un testo di narrativa e non riesco a rendere bene questo termine. Il testo recita:
He doesn’t notice as I approach him, so I figure payback is a bitch and snatch the pencil from between his teeth to save the poor thing.
Grazie mille.

la vendetta è una carogna
Forse carogna è più tenue rispetto al termine "bitch" ma se penso al modo in cui esprimerei il concetto in italiano, questa è la cosa che mi sembra avvicinarsi di più.

: Ottima! Suggerirei di omettere "una" per lasciare il più lapidario "la vendetta è carogna"

In base al contesto, si potrebbe tradurre anche così.
