I would like some Taiwanese slang translations-please help

[MAvericker]

Hello. I am interested in Taiwanese slang (youth,street and college slang), and I would like some help with some Taiwanese translations:

What are common slang terms in Taiwanese that mean:

tough guy
tough female

and how would you say these phrases in Taiwanese?

Please list as many translations as possible. Thank you.

I went elsewhere and asked these questions, and I got this response:
98 is 走吧!
881 is buhbye
886 is 掰掰囉(嚕)
尼=你
15sou=一無所有///mo moㄨ文=沒沒無文///moㄘㄋ汪=沒齒難忘
GGG叫=斤斤計較////ㄅgo22=不過爾爾///1片BC...
大417=大勢已去///ㄆㄆ75=翩翩起舞///44ball...
ㄅ口41=不可思議///ㄓㄓ..=指指點點///cuoc=心...
ㄓㄊㄕㄇ=獐頭鼠目///ㄓ3ㄇ4=朝三暮四
ma ma who who=馬馬虎虎///5TㄊD=五體投地////ㄘㄇGB=草...
icu毛=愛惜羽毛

Can someone please translate what was posted?

Are there any members here who speak Taiwanese?

je ne sais pas si tu connais le chinois mais en fait ce qui t'a été répondu donne toutes les info en chinois standard. Le seul truc c'est qu'il faut soit être très bon en argot taiwanais (car il s'agit tout bêtement d'une utilisation phonétique des caractères) et accessoirement connaître le système phonétique bobomofo (pour les dernières lignes) soit il faut bien connaitre la signification des chengyu et des équivalents en chinois standard.

ex

98 is 走吧! => allons-y
尼=你 => tu
ㄓㄊㄕㄇ=獐頭鼠目///ㄓ3ㄇ4=朝三暮四 => le dernier chengyu signifie 'jouer des tours' (à qqn)

ㄓㄊㄕㄇ=獐頭鼠目///ㄓ3ㄇ4=朝三暮四 => le dernier chengyu signifie 'jouer des tours' (à qqn)

sorry, did not realise the thread was in English
98 is 走吧! => let's go
尼=你 => you
ㄓㄊㄕㄇ=獐頭鼠目///ㄓ3ㄇ4=朝三暮四 => last chengyu means 'play tricks'

You may ask your question in the section 'mandarin and other languages' of the flwg Cantonese forum :

our internet navigator simply doesn't display correctly the Taiwanese characters. it's not codifying properly.
is someone else having the same problem?

salutations,

I changed the codification to simplified chinese and could rread the characters (while I don't understand why it is not automatic)

The thing is, I think the people who gave those translations are probably not Taiwanese (first because it is written in simplified characters and secondly because one term is phonetic and is obviously a transcription from mandarin Chinese instead of Taiwanese chinese).

Lastly, I am sorry but I can't speak Taiwanese so, in any case, I cannot provide any taiwanese romanisation.

tough guy 恶棍，混混，阿飞，
tough female 悍妇，
strong guy 猛男
punk 阿飞，朋客
ruffian 无赖
brat 小孩子，娃儿，小毛孩儿，
