Strongly offensive and insulting. This sense is much harsher than words like "jerk" or "creep." It carries a tone of moral disgust and should be avoided in any polite or professional context. Use only when you deliberately intend to express extreme contempt.

❌ Using it toward a stranger or in public where others might be offended — this word can provoke anger or a fight.
