This is a British expression of contempt. The original Barbara Cartland was a British female author who wrote incredibly predictable, dated chick lit; she was well-known for a number of reasons:-
She had the longest entry in “Who’s Who”;
She believed that, despite her age and decrepitude she was incredibly attractive to the male sex;
Under no circumstances could she possibly be wrong;
The meaning has now broadened and is used to describe any pretentious, arrogant, unattractive female with delusions about her looks, talent, knowledge etc. Should you meet one usher her into the nearest padded cell with a forked vermin stick and arrange for NASA to send her on a probe to Jupiter.

Kim’s had a letter published in a free newspaper, now she’s acting like she’s an ace reporter!

British slang, originating in Plymouth, Devon, it means an ineffectual male. The epithet also implies that the recipient is also moronic impotent, effeminate and incompetent. The origin is believed to derive from the expression 'not worth a Molly's piss', where Molly or Mollie was a slang name for a prostitute. So a Molly Piss is someone who is not worth a prostitute’s piss, meaning that they are of no account or totally worthless.
“Mark’s all uptight and emotional because Terry pointed out a fundamental error in his figures, says he’s going to resign because he can’t take the constant criticism.”
“What a molly piss!”
“What a molly piss!”

This is British slang and is a slightly less vulgar way of saying pain in the arse or pain in the ass if you are American. In this expression the bum in question isn’t an American bum, a word that dates from around the mid nineteenth century, but an English or Australian bum, a word that dates back to the early seventeenth century. At one time the word was not considered to be vulgar at all and was used extensively during the seventeenth an eighteenth centuries. One Gentleman Soldier, fighting for the King during the English Civil War, wrote in a letter that on one occasion the going as so difficult that he “slipped and fell on my bum”.

The lowest form of animal life; they are the arseholes who use the law in ways for which it was not intended. Some of these scumbags, quite literally, follow ambulances carrying people, involved in traffic accidents, to hospital in order to get them to make a claim against the other party involved. In Britain, these bastards use human rights law to prevent paedophile rapists from being deported back to their country of origin. They’re the ones who act on behalf of terrorists to pursue damages against troops who were doing their duty under incredibly difficult circumstances. Why do they do it? For money, they cynically exploit the law that is supposed to protect people to make themselves rich. They are vermin and should be treated as such.
“An online petition has been set up to make it legal to kill ambulance chasing lawyers!”

This is behaviour on the part of an employee or employees that works against the legitimate interests of the organisation that employs them or indeed their own interests. This sort of behaviour is detrimental to the organisation, its employees, clients and customers. It is believed that persons with a tendency to experience anger are more likely to respond to a stressful situation, such as being treated unfairly with counterproductive workplace behaviour.
When the supervisor blamed Charlie for his own mistake, Charlie deliberately jammed all three photocopiers in a fit of counterproductive workplace behaviour.
