"...a pi ya!"

[The Love Guru]

Sometimes when I say something my gf thinks is stupid, she'll repeat what I say and add "a pi ya". Her explanation makes me think it is equivalent to English's "...my ass". So for example:

Person A: Russia's a small country.

Person B: A small country my ass!

The 'my ass' would obviously be the 'a pi ya' in Chinese. Can anyone confirm?

[淨土極樂]

What she says is 个屁 followed by a modal particle like 呀 or 啊.

And yes, 个屁 has roughly the same meaning as 'my ass' in English. However, note that when used alone, 个 is not added. Saying 屁 alone would be roughly the same as 'bullshit' in English.

I think it is 個屁呀 (ge pi ya).

It means what is said is nonsense. Pi = fart.

A:俄羅斯是個小國。

B:小國個屁呀。

[陳德聰]

However, note that when used alone, 个 is not added. Saying 屁 alone would be roughly the same as 'bullshit' in English.

This expression cracks me up every time.

"不是她拒絕了我，是我拒絕了她，好嗎？”

“屁！”

Just as if what came out of your mouth is the same as the farts that come out of your other end.
