Despite being half Cypriot, I don't speak much Greek. Apologies to actual Greeks who realize how badly I'm butchering my transliterations here; my ancestors would be ashamed. (Most of them would probably just laugh at me though.)
That said, one of the funnier ones that used to go around in my family works like this: You yell for me from across the house. I respond "Di?" ("What?") And you yell again, usually meaning I should come over to wherever you are. Again, I say, "Di?" ("What?") And in exasperation, you respond, "Si kephali su tribidi!" (Your head is full of holes!) with emphasis on the last, matching, syllable as if to say "that's what!"

"live fast and get fucked or whatever"
Not really an insult but it kinda sounds like one.

Li mortacci tua!
Not in my language but it my local dialect "va' in mona" or "va' in figa" both translate to "go to (fuck a) p***y" and are short forms of
Va' in figa to' mare
which suggests the listener should go fuck his own mother's p***y. Very common insult in north-eastern Italy with no equivalent even in standard Italian.
