How it's used
This is a highly offensive and aggressive insult used to describe someone perceived as despicable, untrustworthy, or morally bankrupt. It carries a much stronger emotional weight than standard insults and is typically reserved for intense confrontations or when expressing extreme contempt. Using it in casual settings or towards someone you do not know well can easily lead to physical altercations.

Common mistake
Do not mistake this for a literal description of someone's habits, as it is strictly a derogatory label for a person's character. It is not used in a playful or joking manner unless you have an extremely close and volatile relationship with the other person.
