    Yeah, but I don't think it's all that common. In Magic the Gathering cards, it's used as the Japanese translation for "wretch" or "wretched".

    It's amazing how the word is made up, actually.
    卑 - hi - lowly/vile
    劣 - retsu - inferior
    (those two combine to mean "mean" or "foul")
    漢 - kan - China, specifically the Han Dynasty. I kid you not.

    Hey, thanks for the info. That's amazing!

    I'll stick with hiretsukan, but then what would be the proper Japanese word for b*****d?

    Um, do you mean the specific meaning of bastard or just a general derogetary term?

    Well, just a general derogetary term.

    'Bastald' would be 'derogetary' i.e. no such word in Engrish.

    Not being derogatory, but why do you need to know?

    Also, 'hiretsukan' is not a little word.

    Garlach!

    Not your ornery onager
