A nice Arizona translation might be: **** you and the horse you rode in on.

Its kids - I'd bet money on it.
Even if it aint - dont let it bother you. It just seems worse 'cos you're in a foreign country. Its just one person trying to make you feel uncomfortable and psyche you because they know it'll unsettle you a little. you've probably offended some small minded ape unknowingly - (parked your car in his place? Shat thru his letter box maybe? dunno....)
Just bear in mind that its only ONE person. Not the USA as a whole.
Bling!Bling! Ayyyyyy!
