三小 in Taiwanese literally translates as “what sperm?” But it means “what the fuck”.
the full saying is 看三小/看啥小
literally "see what semen?"
meaning more like "the f*** you looking at?"

There's a good one in Cantonese I learned from Hong Kong movies. It translates to "Are you talking?" but the implication is "You're making noise, but is that supposed to be human speech?" Lei guuung yeieh!?
