: Boo (i.e., nay) is a good one-word translation. طز is a colloquial word known all over the Arab world basically meaning "We don't like, care about, or heed what you say/do".

Screw
I think "screw" best conveys the angry, but not really profane connotation of طز.
As in طز فيك , "screw you".
As in طز فيك , "screw you".
