@QLiu 농담으로 쓰이는 표현인데, 한국어로 "야한 놈" 같은 뜻인 거 같네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It's used as a joke, but it means something like 야한 놈 in Korean ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It sounds like it's a reference to the movie Home Alone, which was a film about a family who forgets their youngest child at home when they go on a family vacation for Christmas. Two burglars try to break in and Kevin, the kid who was left behind, plays audio from a gangster movie with a lot of gunfire and death that ends with the line, "Keep the change, ya filthy animal". It's used to scare away the burglars by making them think there are people getting shot up in the home'.
A filthy animal = a dirty animal
It was used as an insult in the old days to describe low-down, dirty scum. Bad people.

@QLiu Yes, it's used there in the same way! As a sort of joking way to make fun of the other person. It's usually used in a sexual way ("야한 놈"?), but it's usually not meant to be offensive. Either way, you should not be using this to people you aren't close with! Hahaha :)

@KupoNut Is that the origin of the phrase? I had no idea. :)
