I think this sounds like a translation project. :)
Better yet, how about some new and creative insults.
ea-luna has several "bad words", one of which is "mutu", which
means something like "incredibly stupid and annoying in a
pointless or dangerous sort of way". You might use this word in
reference to people who see you put on a turn signal in the left
lane, trying to get to the right lane to make a right turn, and
speed up to keep you from getting over in front of them, causing
you to miss your turn; or maybe in reference to a loud,
boisterous person bragging loudly about something they know ALL
about when they are really clueless and everyone else in the room
knows it. [Hey, that's my ex-husband. Total mutu.] You can use
this word as an exclamation too.

Here's one for y'all:

kepe de-dina piu _____________________________.
fat(v)  you(poss.)-mother so-that _______________________.

Yo mama so fat that ________________________.
(Or, really, your mother is fat so that _______________________.)

Wow... I hardly had to look anything up for this post. :)
