dirtballs
Grimy, disreputable people
Dirtballs is a mildly contemptuous term for lowlifes or sleazy people—those considered morally grubby or disreputable: The bar was full of dirtballs and hustlers.
Like its singular form, it suggests someone grimy in character rather than literally dirty.
The word carries less sting than stronger insults but clear disapproval.
