dirtball

Despicable sleazy character

A dirtball is a contemptible or despicable person—someone considered morally low or socially undesirable: That dirtball owes me money and won't return my calls.

The term suggests someone grimy in character, not just dirty in appearance.

Dirtbag carries the same meaning.
