Greetings,
This came up on Iran TV today. It was obviously some kind of criticism of the way in which someone acted, or perhaps of his general attitude, but I'm afraid I can't give any more than that in the way of context.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

What the hell gives you the right to do that?
This is kind of a strong disapproval or condemnation of what someone is doing to show that you are annoyed with them and that nothing can justify their ridiculous behavior. Here are some similar English sentences:
What the hell are you doing!
What (the hell) do you think you are doing?
What (the hell) gives you the right to do that?
Who do you think you are to do that?
How stupid/wrong/ridiculous/etc of you to do that?!
Nothing can excuse/justify what you are doing!

You've got a lot of nerve! (doing that)
Paran's options are good too. This is one of those things that can be rendered in a hundred different ways from one language to another.
"What makes you think you can do that!"
"Who said that was OK!?"

Perhaps this may shed some light as the word بيخودي is obviously related to the word I ask about:
اينجوري ديگر لازم نيست که پدرت هر روز بيخودي پول روزنامه بدهد
(With thanks to Ed Plaisance)
