Definition
小崽子 is a colloquial noun that can refer literally to a young animal or infant, but is far more common as a strong insult meaning 'bastard' or 'son of a bitch'. The literal use is often rural or dialectal; the derogatory use is very offensive and should be used with caution. Context determines which sense is intended.
