sonofabitch

Contemptible male jerk

Sonofabitch is a common vulgar exclamation and insult, literally accusing someone of being the son of a female dog.

As an interjection, it expresses frustration, surprise, or grudging admiration: Sonofabitch, I locked myself out again.

As a noun, it's a general-purpose insult for a contemptible man, though it can carry affection among friends: You old sonofabitch, good to see you.

Also spelled son of a bitch.
