Cards Against Humanity: Conlang Edition #9

I forgot how fun this was!

You've all heard of Cards Against Humanity, but if you haven't, it's a game where somebody reads a card, and you have to fill in the blank or answer the question with one of the cards in your deck.

If it works in English, why can't it work with conlangs?

I will read a real card from Cards Against Humanity (Family Edition to keep it safe) and you will fill in the blank with a word or short sentence of your choice in your conlang. (Your answer does not have to be a Cards Against Humanity card)

The winner last time was u/HolyBonobos with their response of:

"Kirĕ

Myrdyžny ostásadice ka nohladje

/mɨɾˈdɨ.ʐnɨ o.stãˈsa.di.t͡se ka no.xlaˈdʲɛ̃/

lit. unlicensed saw business but the real detail is the pun of ostás (/ˈo.stãs/ saw) which is a near homophone of of óstás (/ˈõ.stãs/ abortion). With a little more or less nasal airflow, dad is either running a knockoff tool factory or a back alley abortion clinic out of the garage."

Please provide a translation and IPA transcription.

The card is:

Rub a dub dub, ____________ in a tub!

Good luck, and have fun!

What's keeping Dad so busy in the garage?
