How it's used
This term carries a strong sense of moral condemnation and is used to label someone as despicable or untrustworthy. It is significantly more aggressive than simply calling someone annoying or rude. Because it is highly offensive, it is typically reserved for moments of genuine anger or when describing someone who has committed a serious betrayal.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word in casual conversation or when joking around with friends, as it is considered a serious insult rather than playful banter. Calling someone a 賤人 is a direct attack on their character and will likely escalate any conflict.
