How it's used
This term is a highly derogatory way to address or describe a man who is perceived as annoying, untrustworthy, or morally bankrupt. It carries a strong sense of contempt and is strictly reserved for heated arguments or when venting extreme frustration to friends. Using it in a professional or formal setting will be seen as highly offensive and aggressive.
Examples
You bastard, are you trying to scam people again?

Common mistake
Do not use this term to describe women, as it is gendered specifically for men. It is not a generic insult and should be avoided unless you intend to express intense hostility.
