"lying bastard"

Lying maliciously. 'Xạo' (lie) combined with 'chó' (dog). Unlike 'xạo lồn', which can be about harmless boasting, 'xạo chó' implies a defensive, harmful lie meant to deceive or avoid consequence.

Catching someone in a lie: 'Mày đừng có xạo chó với tao!' (Don't you try lying to me like a dog!)
