Bobby said he wouldn't give me a ride to work unless I gave him $15 for gas... What a loan shark.

Fuquetarde

A variant of "fucktard" used when the fucktard in question is a fucktard of such substantial style, grace, and magnitude that the mere common appellation "fucktard" will no longer suffice to describe him, her, or them.

Fucktard raised to a higher power, or distilled to a more refined purity.

One: Look here... It quotes this congressman as saying global warming can't be a threat because the Bible's book of Genesis promises that god won't destroy the world again. What a fucktard.
Two: No, no... That man there is a bona fide hyper-dongtastic Grand Poobah Fuquetarde.
