β¨π¦Slang of the Dayπ¦πβ¨
π bastard
offensive!
βπΎMeaning
an unpleasant, despicable person
βFor example
πΊGary can be a real selfish bastard sometimes.
πΊIf he's such a bastard to you, Cindy, why don't you split up with him and find a nicer guy to go out with?
Origin: The original, but now dated, literal meaning of the word was "an illegitimate person", meaning a person born to an unmarried woman. It was often used as an insulting or derogatory term for an illegitimate person, and then it began to be used more as an offensive slang word meaning an unpleasant or despicable person.

πChew Vs Masticateπ
πChew and masticate are synonymous in designating a crushing or grinding with the teeth. The difference between the two words is that masticate, in addition to being more formal than chew, is said only in reference to food that is swallowed after the crushing or grinding action. One speaks, for example, of chewing gum but never of masticating it.
