Calling a male a "nephew" in Chinese 契弟 kai dai is calling them a male prostitute.
Usually it doesn't mean target male has actually been used sexually, but commonly used for general belittlement.
This term comes from ancient times: Traveling businessmen who would take a young boy with them for sexual use, but if anyone on the road or destination asked who the boy was, the business man would euphemistically explain "He's my nephew"
契弟 kai dai is commonly translated as "nephew" but it means "adopted brother"
