How it's used
This phrase functions as a sarcastic, ironic euphemism for the vulgar insult 屌你老豆. By replacing the explicit verb with the polite term for sending regards, the speaker maintains a veneer of civility while delivering a highly aggressive, offensive message. It is frequently used in heated arguments to mock the target's behavior or to express extreme frustration.
Examples
Why are you cursing your father?
He is always cursing your father, it is really rude.
