Tan Yang (Yukikaze), bringing home Unspeakable Vocabulary from the Unspeakable Country.

Khàu-pē oh (Quit your bitching!)

哭父, substituted with homophonic 靠北. Literally "cry father", i.e. mourn for one father (during funerals), basically comparing another person's whining with crying at funerals. Can also be used as a general expression of dismay/discontent/surprise/regret. (c.f. English "fuck me".)

Sak lín lāu-su (God fucking dammit!)

Lit: "Fuck your teacher", a slightly less vulgar form of the usual Minnan "Fuck your mother/father" expletive. Used as a very vulgar insult, or as a general expression of frustration.

Óa kî-lām lah kàn (I'm the goddamn flagship, BITCH!)

挖, approximation of Minnan pronunciation of 我. 幹, "fuck", used as an intensifier here similar to English "fuck(ing)". 幹 itself is a homophonic substitution for 姦. Mandarin Chinese also borrows this use of 幹/干 with the same meaning.

Kóng siánn-siâu lah (What the hell did you just say?)

講啥潲, substituted with near-homophonic (in Minnan) 公鯊小. More vulgar form of 公三小 (another homophone), though not quite profanity depending on circles.

Sī lia̍t khàu-iau (Shut the fuck up!) 是咧哭枵, substituted with near-homophonic 喜咧靠妖. Literally "(you)'re currently crying hunger (like a baby)". Slightly less vulgar than the "cry father" variant.

Chhàu chi-bai (Motherfucker!)

臭膣屄, written as homophonic 操機掰. The infamous "smelly cunt" expletive. Very, very vulgar.

Kàn sóng lah (Fucking GREAT!) 幹 again.

Lín la-a (Ass!) 恁喇阿，with 恁 (you/your) substituted with homophonic 崊 (林 is more often used, as seen in the other "fuck your teacher" insult). Literally "your clam", or "your pussy". Used as a pejorative or as a general expression of frustration.
