Expensive-now Japanese means swearing.

Such as: you boy! Hey, you, asshole!

Evolutionary origin:

Gui was originally a written language used by samurai from the end of the Middle Ages to the early modern times, which meant great respect for each other. It is the same as "ぁなた", that is, you or you.

Since the late modern times, ordinary people began to use the word "expensive" in spoken language, which showed that the meaning of respecting each other gradually faded, so it evolved into being used on people below the same level.

Later, the word was also used to swear, but now it is generally close.
