If the referee makes a bad decision, why not participate yourself? You might get some appreciative looks from a few angry locals and make a friend or two!

It's worth noting that the C-word, which is probably the strongest insult in English, is a bit lighter in Chinese, as you'll see shortly, the F-word carries more weight.

Above is the word for typing 入, below is the word for meat 肉 - do whatever you want!

fuck your mother (Kratzer nǐ mā)

Not particularly cool, but do they exist?

It means "fuck your mother"

Chinese Swearing: Stupidity and Madness

When you want to tell someone they aren't the smartest or a little crazy, learning these few phrases can help...

As you will see, many words with a negative meaning in Chinese are made from eggs, such as:

bastard (she died)

It means to be a "mixed egg". As you can probably imagine, calling someone a "scrambled egg" has something to do with uncertain origins.

This word is actually used to name a person who is a bastard, a bully or a scoundrel.

Fool (shǎquē) / Fool's hat (shǎmàor)

Both simply mean fool -not the harshest of the insults we've listed here... but still, get it!

(talent table)

Perverted.

This word is used both to define someone who genuinely suffers from a mental illness and someone who has ambiguous manners and attitudes.

DID YOU KNOW? In certain restaurants, this can be heard as a degree of sharpness..

As you can imagine, biǎn tài lā (which directly translates to kinky sexy) means the sexiest thing you could ask for.

Chinese Swearing: Relaxed Sexual Morality

masturbate (dǎ fēi jī)

Literally translated it means "hit the plane".

How does that fit into a sexual swear word? Do you think that…?

E,means masturbate🇧🇷 Makes sense now, doesn't it?

The three little ones (xiǎo sān)

Literally "little three", it refers to someone who isthird person/third wheel in a relationship,name of another affectionate woman, ma'am.

cadela (jiàn rén) and cadela (jiàn huò)

Both expressions contain the word 贱 Jiàn "cheap" and refer toa simple woman or a cheap personThe first is followed by 人 rén "person", the second by the word 货 "goods".

Senhorita (xiǎo jiě)

Another tofu-related swear word? How strange, isn't it?

This literal translation is "eat tofu"

It is used to describe a man who is a pervert.

Be careful when a Chinese friend asks you 你喜欢吃豆腐吗? (Do you like tofu?) ...if you're a good/close friend, he probably won't ask you what you think...! Note the soft and quite elastic texture of the tofu...

We leave the rest to the imagination!
