"Mak kau hijau" is a Malay phrase which literally translates in English "Your mother is green".
This phrase origin came from a video that went viral in Malaysia about 2 kids was insulting each other. One of the kid spontaneously said "Mak kau hijau" maybe because out of words after being insulted and angry at same time. The reason it went viral because that phrase has no meaning of insult at all and it is funny when he said that. That is why netizens of Malaysian keep spamming each other with this phrase at that time more just like to joke with each other.
The phrase itself has no insult meaning but when foreigners comment something bad about Malaysia, they will get floods of reply "Mak kau hijau".

Mak Kau Hijau originally meant Your Mother is Green.
When it's referred to people, such as "You're a jerk! Mak Kau Hijau!" means that you are strongly hate or dislike that person.
You mostly say it to someone you are upset with, or someone you hate.
