Coc oen.

Literally translates as "lamb's penis", roughly equivalent to calling someone a dickhead but with an emphasis on belittling them.

Twmffat twp.

"Idiot spout", someone who doesn't think things through before speaking.

On the political side "Dic Siôn Dafydd" is how you refer to a Welsh person who's aligned themselves on England's side in an issue between England and Wales.

That's not exact:

  • Me cago en tus muertos = I shit on your ancestors / I shit on your dead relatives.
  • Me cago en todos tus muertos = I shit on all of your ancestors / I shit on all of your dead relatives.

And in the theme of insults from Spain, a loaded one is also: Me cago en tu puta madre = I shit on your fucking mother / I shit on your whore mother

See, the thing with "puta/puto" is that it literally means "whore", but it's used to empathize cursings just like "fucking" is used in english. We're even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it's use in english.

From what country is that phrase? Dominican?
