Okay, #AskFedi / #AskFediverse - got a fun one for you today.
For my #Translation job, I need to find a good English synonym for the word "asshat" or "asshole". The original word is an insulting term suggesting someone's head resembles a butt. The scene takes place in alternative 1990s, so nothing recent, please.
Will not provide further answers / clarifications because [NDA]. That's all you get.
Don't try to @ me explaining how languages / translation works. 
Have at it. Boosts welcome.

"Please note that X is a silly joke we made in relation to X"
... THANK YOU

Translation Story Hour with abadidea:
During the Warring States era, the King of Qi dispatched a messenger to the State of Zhao. The Queen of Zhao asked the messenger: “How is the harvest in Qi? How are the people faring?”
When at last she inquired after the king, the messenger complained: “Milady, you did not first ask about milord, but about crops and commoners. Doesn’t milady think that a bit backwards?”
The Queen of Zhao replied: “If there are no crops, then what commoners are there to speak of? And if there are no commoners, then what exactly is he king of?”
@WesternExposure #AITranslations are the new "but the little son of my secretary translates this for free!"
Techniques change, bad customers remain bad customers.
I often had such people. Weeks later they came back: Please can you repair our text, we used the secretary's son and his aunt, and Deepl, and now we get so miserable reviews! (Of course, also nope.)
