<p>The most appropriate equivalent in Chinese for "Oh burn!" shall be "Kao !" which is most used and does not necessarily carry too much of the offensive while being able to express the subtle feeling in such a context.   </p>

<p>I understand where you are coming from, I am not sure if the Chinese really have a direct translation but based off what you are saying (Taking a leap of faith here) You are looking for something along the lines of these two things: one translation(Again these are not direct) would be "you got told," which is 你被告知 "ni bei gaozhi"
Or the other "that must burn your feelings," 必须燃烧你的感受 "bixu ranshao ni de ganshou"
Again I am not completely fluent with the Chinese language but this should help you get an idea of what you are trying to say.</p>

<p>For Mandarin, I am not sure because I am not a native speaker.  Perhaps people may simply respond with a single "干!".  Would anyone please correct me.</p>

Henry I think that's the respond from the people being insulted, usually it's a third person saying it.  But thanks for your input too

<p>In the scenario that a third party witnessed an insult of others two, or someone try to lighthearted fight back a insult, maybe "雷死了"（lei2 si3 le) in Chinese can fit in. "雷" means Thunder.  "雷死了" means someone think it's somewhat funny unbelievable and be shocked. </p>

You should probably explain a bit more about the context of "oh, burn," is it a retort to an insult. Can you update the question with an example?

@wuyefeibao Here is a link to the usage in context: https://i.sstatic.net/hX8V9.jpg. Someone pointed out to me that the phrase is a third-party expression with no malicious connotations. It's a jocular expression of amusement at someone else having just been owned (A term used when someone gets embarrassed by someone else; commonly used when an individual gets beaten when gaming or playing a sport; a variation of pwned). I have never heard a Chinese person engage in this kind of chat, but it will be interesting to hear what others have to say...

`Monica` insults `Joey`. Onlooker `Chandler` watches the exchange between `Monica` and `Joey`, and says "Burn!" to mean: "I acknowledge `Monica's` insult as not just a quality insult, but also an amusing/funny one. `Joey`, you just got served (a dish of insult justice.)" Hope that helps.
