They come in all shapes and sizes, some wear badges and some disguises. Some I remember and some I forget but here are some bastards I have met… The dumb bastard (duh, a clueless stupid ignorant bastard) The sly bastard The lucky bastard The greedy bastard The cold bastard (perhaps better known as a heartless bastard) The stubborn bastard The whinging bastard The bad bastard The rat bastard The lazy bastard (not to be confused with the fat bastard) The dirty bastard The ungrateful bastard The mad bastard The ruthless bastard The cocky bastard (much the same as an insufferable bastard) The cheating bastard The ugly bastard The clever bastard The real bastard The mean bastard (a less nasty version of the evil bastard) The two-faced bastard The lying bastard The thieving bastard The old bastard The total bastard (just a proper, complete and utter bastard) The cheap bastard The wild bastard The bloody bastard A right bastard (truly delights and revels in his bastardry) Now I won’t name and shame you cos I know I can be a bastard too. But that’s between me and my Maker and I pray it’s not a deal-breaker! Written: June 2025

A lot of folks with questionable parenting heritage.

Yep, but even David was a bastard when he sent Uriah to the front lines to be killed so he would be free to marry Bathsheba. We are all redeemable. Cheers

My only hope is that there will be bastards in the Kingdom. If not, I’m screwed! Cheers

Not directed at anybody on the Soup. I think most of us have met a similar bunch of reprobates along the way. Some of my best friends were, and are, bastards. Lol

Only 3? So you’re a fancy bastard too! I won’t ask you to identify the ones with an asterisk next to my name ;)

That's a shame, I'd picked 3 of the fancy ones out for myself :)
