bounder
This term carries a distinct flavor of British upper-class disdain, describing a man who lacks a moral compass but possesses enough social confidence to navigate high society. It suggests a specific blend of arrogance and unscrupulousness, often implying that the person is a social climber or a rogue who exploits others for personal gain.
While it describes a dishonorable person, the tone is often one of haughty condemnation rather than raw anger. It is less severe than calling someone a criminal, but more cutting than calling them a liar, as it attacks the individual's inherent character and social standing.
