God, I hope you're not inviting that bloody, bullocky, selfish, two-faced, chicken bastard, pig-dog man, are you?

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker hopes, with exasperated dismay, that a particular man is not on the guest list, and unloads a string of increasingly colourful insults against him: bullocky, selfish, two-faced, a pig-dog. The outburst is comic in its excess, ending as a demand for reassurance.
