Ia-tocha! Can you please tell me all you can about Ubese insults?

Ia-tocha! There are many expressions in Ubese which are considered derogatory or otherwise rude.

Yag-b_, as we've covered, refers to someone of impure breeding. Even with the cha suffix, it is considered vulgar (though there's not usually a context in which the cha suffix would be attached to this word anyway.) Bagy_ means to breed improperly, such as with an animal or with a blood relative.

Ishgy_ means to be banished, to be exiled, to be cast out. Banishment from Uba IV is a severe punishment in Ubese law. To use it without the cha suffix strongly implies you are wishing it on someone rather than merely discussing it.

Dizch_ means to make a mistake, to mess up, to do something clumsy. When referring to a small or understandable mistake, the cha suffix is applied. Otherwise, it is used as a rebuke or ridicule.

Chu-d_ is very similar, but more versatile. Its literal meaning is "to cover something in waste." It can refer to a boss ruining a good idea, a person criticizing a holofilm, a toddler destroying a room, or a person making a ruinous and avoidable mistake. Chut_ refers to a person, object or concept that is "covered in waste." Chut_ can describe rude people, malfunctioning droids, bad holofilms, or botched operations.

Ei, uto. Zibo-cha!

Ever heard the voicelines from Leia's boushh costume in battlefront 2? Not sure how accurate they are but they seem to be more language than what we get in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpiHM-8IwpU

Ia-tocha! I have heard those, yes. Those lines are far more phonologically complex than the Ubese this databank deals with, and it's clear there wasn't much thought put into making them linguistically sound. As far as I'm concerned, they're just non-canon sound effects. At most, I'd say it's a different Ubese language from the one we hear in Return of the Jedi. A, uto. Zibo-cha!
