How it's used

This expression is highly aggressive and vulgar, functioning as a severe reprimand when someone is being insincere or manipulative. The inclusion of the expletive 撚 intensifies the accusation of dishonesty, making it inappropriate for any professional or polite social setting. It is strictly reserved for close friends or intense confrontations where the speaker intends to drop all social niceties.
