How it's used
Functions as both a descriptive adjective for behavior and a noun for a person. It carries a strong sense of moral indignation or frustration, often used when someone acts in a way that is blatantly unfair or incompetent. Unlike milder insults, it implies a level of contempt for the person's character rather than just their actions.
Examples
You are so irresponsible at work, you really make me furious!
Is that jerk causing trouble again?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in professional or formal settings, as it is quite aggressive and can be considered offensive. It is strictly for venting anger or describing someone who has behaved in a truly despicable manner.
