Thank you for the detailed reply.

Noticed a small typo @s1212z - your sentence has ใŒใ–ใ„ใพใ™ instead of ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™.

Notes :
Interesting note for ่ฃ from when I first learned this kanji. ่ฃ does not refer to something specifically on the back, it refers to anything that is not visible from the front, but behind the front. So for things that are hollow, the inside part behind the front can also be called ่ฃ.

Literal - What is that way of saying (something)!
Natural - What are you saying?!

The ใชใ‚“ใ  at the beginning makes it seem a little more rude to me, like โ€œHow dare you say something like that!โ€ or โ€œWhat the hell did you say?!โ€
