How it's used
This is an extremely aggressive and vulgar insult that carries a high level of hostility. It combines several offensive terms to emphasize total contempt for a group of people. Using this phrase will almost certainly lead to a physical confrontation or severe social fallout, so it is strictly reserved for moments of intense rage.
Examples
Are those bastards causing trouble again?
