Step 5: Pull a "Yo Momma"

Pull a “yo mamma” on them by saying, “Cao ni da ye.” The literal translation is “Screw your old uncle,” but for reasons known only to the Chinese, that is just as bad as insulting someone’s dear mother.

Kick it up a notch with “Cao ni zu zong shi ba dai”—“screw your ancestors of 18 generations!”

Step 6: Call them a girl

Insult male athletes by asking “Ni shi nu ren hai shi nan ren?” which means, “Are you a girl or a man?”

Hope that by the end of the competition you can taunt them with “Loser!”—“Wunang fei!”

The most profane insult you can hurl at a Chinese person translates to “you are the son of a turtle egg.”
