a vicious person

I was revising this morning and I saw this Teochew saying, which you may want to learn.

烏心肝糜屎肚|乌心肝糜屎肚

The above describes someone who has vicious malicious heart i.e. intention and with a rotten stomach. Another explanation is that it describes a person who is ruthless and lacking in conscience and has a vicious mind full of hate.

 

In Mandarin is translated as 蛇蠍心腸 intention of a snake and a scorpion.
