"bastard child / abandoned wretch"

Labels someone as an illegitimate, abandoned child — a 'wild' offspring that nobody wanted. In a culture where family lineage is everything, this strips a person of their most fundamental social identity. You're not just insulting them; you're erasing their family.

Said in a heated family dispute: 'Đồ con hoang! Mày không có quyền nói chuyện gia đình!' (You bastard child! You have no right to speak about family matters!)
