Aw, dang. Now you done it, Spaw. You pierced some pomposity and it splattered all over that puir disappointed Guest, and now look!
As for scumbags, dear Disappointed, a review of definitions is certainly in order. Your use of the term is severely off-target; if you tremble at the use of vile opprobrium, such as "tightass", if strong language makes you cringe, it may be best for you to seek more pastoral retreats, where the gentle hand of Nature nurtures all, and nothing there is to be found more vile than a sweet and natural cow-flop by a babbling stream, feeding the daisies.
