Replying to [Raysharndy]:This word actually is 'rotten egg' and is usually used by fathers scolding his son.

He is scolding his as a bad egg for son, and coconut head for daughter. In English, this word is equal to the word 'PUNK' for a naughty boy.

Replying to [Street Smart]:Or the word IMP.
Bad egg refers to the mother who produces the egg and the father the sperm. This is a lesser word than the word *, or the Son of Bi**h, the American would use.

A few years back I attended a Chinese Baby "Red Egg" Party.

The relatives told me about the big importance of this party and we got to talk about "Eggs" in general.

If I recall correctly, they told me that "Bad Egg" is the only English slang term that can be translated directly into Mandarin ... in the sense that "Bad Egg" has exactly the same slang meaning in both English and Chinese.

We concluded that a Bad Egg in English or Chinese simply means a person who can't be trusted, like "He's a bad egg you should avoid him".

But, talking about interesting Chinese words, the one I sometimes use here in Oz when I'm pretending I'm not swearing is "sha bi" (I'm Oz, not Chinese, by the way).

Hi Harry, somebody who is both a bad apple and a bad egg must be a sha bi (hehe some of my chinese friends might be shocked to hear that.

"niu bi"?

HooHahaha ... I'm still laughing!

"niu bi" is very "Beijing-ese" = somebody who bullshits ... BIG BIG BULLSHITTER.

"niu" = Bull.

"bi" = hmmm ... bad swear word ... too bad to say.
