你瞅你那个作(zuō)死的样子: My attempt at a more or less word-for-word translation is:
"you look at your this manner of making trouble" ; 
a translation could be "(wow) check it out, you're really looking for trouble"

Thank you! I think what you have suggest is more proper. Though i was ready to say something like' 你不要在我前面拍马屁'  (i found it searching phrases in the internet)

Firstly you say "I am sure it is an offensive phrase" -- you are correct, but do you know what it means? What would an equivalent be in English or any other language? 

Now, knowing what it actually means, what is your desired response? Do you wish to just shrug it off and get on with your life, or do you wish to engage in a verbal battle of pejoratives with a teenager? Knowing the desired response is key to helping you figure out what you should (or shouldn't) say in response.
