<p>One word that pops in mind for Chinese would be 無恥 which is shameful.</p>

<p>Here's an old movie clip, showing the time when Nationalist from China invaded Taiwan and forced everyone, including school teachers and children to speak Chinese. Those who spoke Taiwanese had to wear a sign saying they will speak Chinese. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IVfqlpPPbM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IVfqlpPPbM</a>  </p>

<p>Words seen in this clip are<br>
at 2:50 playful words that children call each other when they are calling each other disguisting<br>
邋遢鬼 (I have heard it pronounced in Taiwanese as 垃圾鬼), 骯髒鬼 </p>

<p>at 4.14 
閉嘴、不像話、夭壽死嬰仔你 translated in clip as -> shut up, you short life little bastard you</p>

<p>I think what you're trying to say is what is spoken by the teacher from 4:14 and afterwards. Those are common phrases that adults use to 教訓 naughty little kids. </p>

Thanks @tang ho for pointing this out. Using shameless as a way to insult someone for having no shame vs being shameful. I think there is some subtle differences that depending on context of how it is used, can give off different feelings
