slimeball
Truly loathsome individual
A slimeball is a despicable or untrustworthy person, someone whose behavior strikes others as slimy—underhanded, sleazy, or morally repugnant.
The term evokes something disgusting to the touch, and that visceral quality carries into its figurative use.
Her ex-boyfriend turned out to be a total slimeball.
It's informal and always derogatory.
