i need some help. i want an eptithet that is not a curseword, but still conveys the same contempt.
"jerk" just isn’t cutting it.
thanks
If you’re willing to risk it a little, you could go with jackass. Not a polite word, but not quite profane.
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
i considered that possibility…
jackass has more of a "stupid" connotation
while a—hole implies "meanness"
Could this person be despicable?
Television has made dictatorship impossible, but democracy unbearable—Shimon Peres
despicable—more of an objective connotation: "worthy of being despised" as opposed to just feeling like the person’s actions are mean
lol, katy!
;D
I had a neighbor, very polite English professor, that used the phrase "horse’s ass" to describe one of our not so polite neighbors. To me it has the same connotation as jackass, but sounds nicer.

No matter where you go, there you are. Steven Wright ...I think.

LOL, My boss could have heard me!! That is a funny one, thanks for sharing.
