頂你個肺
  ding2 nei5 go3 fai3   jyutping
  ding3 ni3 ge4 fei4   pinyin
[profanity] How dare you?! Get lost! Blow Me!
[literally] to apply pressure to your lungs. Note that this really has nothing to do with the lungs and is a sound contraction from the vulgar expression [ding nei go faai hai]: ding nei go faai hai → ding nei go f(aai h)ai = ding nei go fai.

There is some debate as to how profane this phrase is. It seems to have become less offensive in recent times, and is roughly equivalent to "blow me".
