dirt bag

Morally bankrupt person

A dirt bag is literally a bag for collecting dirt, as in a vacuum cleaner.

But the dominant use is slang for a contemptible person—someone sleazy, dishonest, or morally repugnant: Her ex-boyfriend turned out to be a total dirtbag.

The spelling varies: one word, two words, or hyphenated.
