龟儿子

guī ér zi

(coll.) bastard

son of a bitch

龟

guī

tortoise; turtle

儿

ér

child

子

zi

noun suffix, as in 椅子[yi3 zi5] "chair"

turtle (龟) + son (儿子) = son of a turtle, i.e. bastard

Turtles were historically associated with cuckoldry in Chinese culture, making 龟 the insult's sharp edge. 儿子 simply means 'son,' so the phrase literally calls someone the son of a turtle — a blunt, earthy slur.

他骂那个人是龟儿子。

tā mà nà ge rén shì guī ér zi。

He cursed that person as a bastard.

你这个龟儿子,怎么能做出这种事?

nǐ zhè ge guī ér zi,zěn me néng zuò chū zhè zhǒng shì?

You son of a bitch, how could you do something like this?
