Oh, the words are correct as you say, but I'm talking about the BBcode format. In your post it looks like johnm said what I said, but I fixed the format when quoting your post in my post.

Quotation nesting in BBcode can quickly get confusing like that. :)

Ah, thanks for that. I thought you meant misquoted as in dishonestly misquoting you, but I see what you mean now.

“Os depiléis los huevos” es bastante vulgar en mi opinión, creo que, en sentido figurado, el youtuber quiere decir: “mientras no estéis realizando nada de importancia”

/"You wax your testicles" is quite vulgar, but I get it, he is trying to be funny. I think figuratively, the youtuber means: "as long as you are not doing anything important." I think that grammatically speaking, it is correctly and properly expressed. By the way “Os” is never use in daily conversation by Latin American Spanish speaker, I can’t think of a time when I used “Os.”/
