It sounds like swearing and similar.

I'll put The Bad Word without a censorship. Please forgive me
Ni Chi fan le ma [ni ʈ͡ʂɨ fan lə ma]
to us, sounds like :
니 씨 팔 럼 아 (ni ssi pal leo ma) [ni: s˭i p'al ɾʌ ma]
which is originally
니 씨 발 놈 아 (ni ssi bal no ma) [ni: s˭i bal no ma]
I can't translate in sentence so I'll just analize this step by step
# "Ni" is you
# "Ssi bal" is roughly equivalent of the F word. Since 吃(chi) is affricate, it sounds much worse (Ssi bal > Si bal)
Casual example : https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/4621518
# "Nom" is... I'm not sure there's a proper translation but when it's used with a curse word, it'd be "~ass", "punk", or "jerk". when it's not, a "guy"
# "A" is a vocative ending, no meaning
..."ni chi fan le ma" joke is famous and xx럼아 is a ridiculos variation but please don't look down 씨 word and forget about it
