offensive!

✍🏾Meaning

an unpleasant, despicable person

❕For example

Origin: The original, but now dated, literal meaning of the word was "an illegitimate person", meaning a person born to an unmarried woman. It was often used as an insulting or derogatory term for an illegitimate person, and then it began to be used more as an offensive slang word meaning an unpleasant or despicable person.
