Ah - never heard of that. For me there is only one Baldrick, hence my segue into Blackadder.

"SCREW YOU ALL, YOU FOREIGN DEVILS!"

Heh... Don't worry, I'm not trying to drum up business for hanzismatter.com here. I only feel tempted to inflict that sort of cruelty on dimwits who pester me with their: "Isn't all the Chinese in Firefly so cool? ". And Joss Whedon, the High Priest of their cult.  :evil:

"Foreign devil" is  鬼子 (guǐzi), or 洋鬼子 (yáng guǐzi) specifically for Europeans, White Americans etc., and you are very unlikely to hear it nowadays outside historical dramas set in the "colonial" era. "Screw you" would be something like 操你妈 (cāonǐmā), literally "F**k your Mum!"; some things transcend cultural differences. :-D
