Oh, oh, oh! I have to break out my copy of Samuel Johnson's Insults: A Compendium of Snubs, Sneers, Slights, and Effronteries from the Eighteenth-Century Master. How about "feculent"? It means foul, dreggy, excrementious. " I like "fopdoodle." too. A fool, an insignificant wretch.

I was going to use an emoji of said animal, but decided that would be mean. I had a colleague who hated spiders. If one crawled onto her window OUTSIDE the building, she would put a post-it over it. Props, I say.
