shitstain
What does “shitstain” mean in English?
It's a strong insult implying someone is worthless or disgusting, like a stain you can't get rid of. The literal sense refers to an actual stain, but it's mostly used figuratively.
You'd use it like you would 'piece of shit' in English, aimed directly at someone to express disdain. It's a bit less common but carries a similar weight.
