<p>How about <code>I'll tear you (up).</code><br>
<code>废</code> means <code>disable sb.</code> here, so <code>tear up</code> may be an appropriate expression.</p>

<p>For example, </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>我廢了你</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It can roughly translate to "I'll waste/break/ruin you", but that doesn't sound too accurate.</p>

<p>What "廢" sounds like is kindof like "crippling" yet less severe than that.</p>

<p>From what I can tell, it sounds like extreme, violent damage yet nothing as permanent as crippling.</p>

Wasting sounds right to me as the lesser version of crippling.

How about `I'll tear you (up).`  
`废` means `disable sb.` here, so `tear up` may be an appropriate expression.

Changing the order makes more sense. 我废了你 = 我 make 你 废了。

I'll make you crap. Something like that. It just likes the ancient Chinese grammar.
