Hi. I'm interesed in Taiwanese dialect slang (youth, street and college). I know in Chinese slang, brats are called "little emperors" in both Cantonese and Mandarin. What are Taiwanese dialect slang terms that mean "brat"? Please list as many translations as possible. :D

Brat Slang

It can be
死囝仔 (pronounced "shi ghin-a" or "si ghin-a") or 死囝仔寶 (shi ghin-a boh)
--> These are two very, very, very low-classed way to call a child a "brat" in Taiwanese. Don't use them if possible.
死, like in Mandarin, means "dead" or "to die."
囝仔 means "child" in Hokkienese/Taiwanese.
猴囝仔 (ghao ghin-a)
--> sounds better than the previous two, but I'd still suggest you avoid using it.
猴, also like in Mandarin, means "monkey."
