Hello. The guy I spoke to said that the term he was talking about sounded like "xiao lian" in Taiwanese Hokkien, and it meant "young punk".

Hello ong-thank you for responding.
Sorry about that comment I made in my last post.
I should have been more specific-do these terms you posted mean "bad person", or "illegitimate child/offspring"?
