My Mexican brother-in-law says something that sounds pretty much like that - I do hear the "puta madre" part, but I'm not sure what the first word is - sounds like "chinga" - the whole thing sounds to me like "chinga tu puta madre". I know the "puta madre" bit means "whore mother" - not sure about the "chinga" part. I guessed it was a slangy expression for something unpleasant!
