The word 兔崽子 is a compound insult formed metaphorically by combining 兔 (tù, rabbit) and 崽子 (zǎizi, offspring or whelp). Literally meaning "rabbit's young", it draws on the cultural perception of rabbits as timid, mischievous, or inferior animals. By referring to a person as the "offspring of a rabbit", it implies they are cowardly, despicable, or worthless, functioning similarly to English curses like "son of a bitch" or "bastard", carrying strong derogatory and scornful connotations.
