How it's used
This phrase is a highly aggressive and vulgar way to express disbelief, confusion, or annoyance at someone's speech. The inclusion of the expletive 撚 intensifies the dismissal of the other person's words as nonsense or garbage. It is strictly reserved for close friends or intense confrontations and should be avoided in any professional or polite social setting.

What the fuck is he rambling about? It's really annoying.
