Definition
骂娘 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning to swear at someone by cursing their mother — a very offensive and vulgar insult in Chinese. The verb 骂 and the object 娘 can separate to insert elements like 了, measure words, or pronouns: 骂了他的娘 (cursed his mother), 骂过几次娘 (sworn a few times). Avoid using this word in polite contexts; it's extremely rude.
v.o.
to swear at someone by cursing their mother (vulgar)
