How it's used
This phrase is a highly aggressive rhetorical question used to insult someone's upbringing or character. It implies that the person's behavior is so unacceptable that it reflects poorly on their parents. It is considered very offensive and should be avoided in polite company.
Examples
You are acting so outrageously, what kind of person are you?
He is so rude when he speaks, what kind of person is he?

Common mistake
Do not use this phrase literally to ask about someone's mother. It is strictly an insult directed at the person's own behavior, not a genuine inquiry about their family background.
