jackass, the worst of the worst Explanation: The nuances of slang in English (or any language) can be very different depending on the country, or even from one area to another within the same country, so pick what works for you, but it needs pretty strong. I like 'jackass' because it retains the barnyard flavor. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2017-10-07 20:10:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops! 'Needs to be pretty strong'. |
